1M oil change question

A new car to me and just trying to get some DYI familiarity. Internet has been no help with my question. Does anyone know if the 1M has a dipstick tube (I know it does not have a dipstick) where the engine oil can be syphoned from? I can't locate one and perhaps it will be a car I'll need to lift to drain it. My Audi has a tube with a press in cap and I've become a fan of the syphon process. Thank you.

The BMW 1M (N54 engine) does not have a dipstick or dipstick tube, so you cannot syphon the oil from the top. The oil must be drained from underneath via the oil pan plug, meaning you'll need to lift the car to do an oil change.
