And I don't have to spend an hour in the garage, take the oil to get recycled, etc.

Modern BMWs don't have dipsticks. They pull the oil out through where the filter goes. Which is under pressure when the engine is running. The same place is used for oil extractors on Subaru's.

I'm sure you can find a reputable shop where you live.
I've never used an extractor...
Since we have a dipstick, would we go through there for the extraction?
