Oil change for 5.0

[2011335i]

I'm trying to change the oil myself. I have found the oil filter housing, but I did not find a normal looking oil drain plug. Instead there is a screw plug that would need a Allen wrench to turn it. Am I looking at the correct plug? Based on the location of the plug, it should be the right one. I hate to accidentally drain the transmission fluid instead.

I have found this http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...=11&fg=10&hl=1

I think the screw plug should be the oil drain plug.

Thanks for you input.
