Oil Level
Got a warning that oil was below minimum this morning. Was going to go grab some oil and add a quart. Turn car on and run the check again. Now it says I have a normal level. I wish I had a dip stick to determine what the actual oil level is. Anyone dealt with this before? Engine is N54.

If it went on then off you are most likely close to needing a quart. Car has lots of oil, 7qts, most have 4.5 to 5 quarts. Wait till it needs it so you don't overfill which is worse than a quart down.

You can still check the relative oil level through the screen... You can see if its close to the low end or high end.

I just purchased my 2006 320 i, I was looking to check my oil level and noticed it did not have a dipstick. I have to rely on the electronics to tell me if it is low?

Do you know if there is a way to check oil level with a scanner? I recently purchased Autoenginuity with the BMW option (software to view sensors and trouble codes). I have a connection issue which I have yet to work out with their tech support.
