Mini's use a canister type filter it's on the upper passenger side under a black canister , you'll need a 27mm wrench to loosen it and a T50 to drain the oil

The 08 is the same 07 ... And NO it's loosened from the Top (Oil Filter)
Drain Plug is underneath

I have looked at it from the top of the motor on the passengers side under the hood. Yet all I see is air hoses, how about a better description before I start taking things apart.

thanks
