2016 m235i oil drain plug

I was going to do the first oil change on my 2016 m235i so i jacked up the cat and look and it looks alot different than old models. I dont see little door to get to the oil plug. I ser two drain bolts exposed. One toward the front of car with a big torx bolt and one in the back with 17mm bolt. This 17mm bolt faces the ground not like old years model. Anyone with 2016 notice this?

On the MY15 it's towards the back, rectangle cutout, i think it was 17mm.

Take a camera picture and post it.

I have a 2016 M235i, RWD, Automatic. It does have a door to get to the 17mm drain plug.
