If you removed the camshaft cover, you should probably replace the gasket or at a minimum insure that all bolts are torqued to OEM specification.
Look here for instructions and pictures for the oil change.

The fuel filter is located on the bottom of the car, not sure which side, under a shield. Look here for pics and instructions.

Hope this helps!
SOURCE: where is the oil filter located on the bmw 116i
right at the front in the middle below plastic housing. Has 1 large plastic cap on a metal lower casing, not metal bodied like old oil filters just has filter element. Also replace 'O' rings that should come with the new filter as the old will have squared off or become perished. I think you need a 27mm socket to undo the filer housing.

Hi, yes there are several Youtube video's but they don't seem applicable to the 2011 E87 116i which is actually a 2.0L petrol. I have removed all the underside trays on both sides of the car, absolutely nothing!
Thanks for taking the time anyway
After a little bit more research it appears that those petrol models do not have a fuel filter fitted! There is most likely a ‘catch trap’ inside the fuel tank. This is basically a fine metal gauze over the end of the pick up pipe.
you are a star many thanks
i can't find on my car either
Yep, same problem here (E82 125i), there is no fuel filter in the location shown by the YouTube video below.
If you acnt find an external fuel filter then its in the tank with the pump
