As you look at the engine, hood up (of course!) it's between the engine & firewall, below the headers and on the left (passenger) end of the engine.
It's an aluminum casting cover with a cartridge style filter inside. Don't look for the typical 'spin on' filter as that's not how the MINI oil filter is designed. it's a round cover with a large hex head on it for a socket.
Hope this is helpful

What is the 2008 Mini Cooper S oil capacity?
It is disappointing that MINI/BMW does not reveal the capacities or recommended oil types (they list several different one but nothing is concrete) in their manuals. In fact they go out of their way to make it complicated. However I just finished changing the oil in the 2008 MINI (not S). It took 4 quarts without the oil filter change. This may be slightly greater for the Cooper S. The oil capacity for the Cooper and Cooper S is 4.6 quarts with the filter change (filter should be changed at EACH oil change). The sticker on my 2003 S recommends Castrol Syntec 5w30 but I have to buy Mobil 1 for my other cars and have started using it in the MINI, also.
