Do I understand you correctly? if you jack up the front, basically tilting the front of the car up, more oil comes out???

So, BMW did NOT design/locate the drain pug at the "lowpoint" of the oil pan?

That means when the BMW Dealer changes the oil, and uses the hydraulic lifts to raise your car, they leave more oil in the pan?

This seems counter intuitive. Can others validate?
