Noting that this thread has pretty well run its course...

Don't some current model BMWs have "electronic dipsticks"? I read somewhere that to check (really *check*) the oil level you have to take it to a dealership where they pump out the oil an measure it..there simply isn't an old-fashioned dipstick so there's no way to know if the electronic gizmo is giving an accurate reading or not.
