coolant drain plug

I have a 2010 328i (n52 engine), and am looking to change the OFH gasket over the weekend. I've seen many suggest to go ahead and drain quart or two of the coolant as it is worth it to prevent a mess. My question is where is the drain plug at? Is it difficult to get to? Looks like the radiator drain plug might not be accessible without taking off that underpanel underneath the car? If that's the case, and especially since I don't have any ramps, I might just skip the drain part and try to capture as much of the coolant as I can when I remove the housing. At least one poster mentioned how easy it was to drain the coolant, so I'm assuming there must be a plug somewhere that is easily accessible.
