Ahhh, a message from the uneducated............... :-)
After toiling with dozens (hundreds?) of these things, you soon learn. From
under the car, break the torque on the drain bolt. Then get on top of the
car, reach in , and in all models, even the M3, you can just get two fingers
onto the bolt, remove it and , if you're unlucky, you'll get some coolant on
your shoe.
It ain't skill, it's experience.........................
