Interesting...
The previous oil level sensor was used in both petrol and some ECE diesel, but only the US E70 35d - no oil level or temp.sensor was installed in the US E90 335d AFAIK.
Condition was calculated by means of a "permittivity" measurement as the sensor used (2), a high and low positioned, capacitors.
Current engines (US) now use an ultrasonic oil level sensor.
