I appreciate all of your thoughts and input on this, I do. I am with you on probably never selling, or caring about the price much if I do, but I wonder how low that price would be or at least how much effort I would need to go through in order to convince a buyer that this issue is not really an issue, for this model car.

One question I also have is, Does this affect any model year besides 2006?

Thanks again!
So the Marko quote just shows that the e-dipstick doesn't immediately update the oil level once you've added oil and you have to wait until the system re-determines the new level. The system always reports the last known level until it updates after several miles and time.

I don't know if the condition affects any other models. There's a few members here that have over 200K on the N54 and they have not mentioned it.
