I did buy from from Amazon. Although not the model you've linked, mine is exactly the same as the Lidl unit. Think I paid £23'ish. Amazons customer service came in handy when after 5 months my pump packed in (my fault, I did an hour long heater matrix flush cycle) and Amazon sent another unit free.

I did own a diesel a long time ago (a '91 BX). Don't remember that being any different, but that was an early diesel. I guess we're talking about modern, direct injection diesels.

All the BMW petrols and diesels are on top and in a cannister, even since the 1970s. It must just be engineer's choice.
Johnmed, what does your oil filter lid say on it, I can only read half of it - mine is plain/blank.

Picked up one of these from Ebay a year or two back as I have a Brabus Smart and they have no oil sump plug so you have to do it this way.
A lot of garages have switched to doing it this way as well, particularly if it's a cheap all in service. Advantage is it's quick and painless. It doesn't however remove all the oil as you have some left in the sump, like getting the last bit of a milkshake through a straw. Also you don't get to check things as much as you would normally, so i'd say do a proper one every once in a while! Lee
