G30 M550i N63B oil wrench/socket

Someone please point me in the direction of the correct oil filter wrench/socket for 2020+ N63B oil filter (523hp version).

Here is the oil filter cap: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...p/11427615389/

I believe it is a 86mm diameter...

Is this oil filter under the car or on the top next to the engine?

Oil filter is on the bottom of the engine near the drain plug. See below - good video to watch. Different vehicle and previous revision engine but the procedure / process is exactly the same.

This is the factory BMW oil filter cap wrench. 86mm, 16 flats.

There may be cheaper alternatives, but I have found you rarely regret using the factory approved tool. It will fit without damaging the plastic cover, and simply works. Unless another tool has been vetted by other users... I've been down that rabbit hole trying two or three until one works without slipping off the cap or filter. I've had some work for a few uses, then go to sh*t. Of course right when I am trying to get the proper torque setting....and its slipping off.
