Oil Filter Location

Have a 2014 Cooper and a 2015 on order. I'm having a difficult time finding the oil filter housing. Is it accessed from underneath? Or is it under a cover on the engine. Been all over the engine, and can't seem to locate it. Hopefully the 2015 will be the same. Any help, much appreciated........

Thanks

It's accessed from underneath. It has a cover with MANY screws holding it in place, but there's an access cover for the drain plug and another for the filter. Done carefully, you won't get much if any spillage on that cover.
