R56 Fill oil into oil filter housing

if you really want to be sure, just change the oil, plain and simple. Other option is make sure the oil is full via dipstick, start car and let it idle down under 1k rpm’s, turn off car, wait about 10 min and check oil again. I wouldn’t fill the filter housing.

If I am understanding you correctly, you want to "pre-fill" the filter housing? Not needed on these cars. There is an anti-drain back valve, but whenever the filter is removed, the oil drains out anyway. So a pre-fill isn't going to get you anything.
