I just changed the oil on my 2007 335i coupe. Since there is no dispstick I would caution about just pouring all 7 quarts in. After draining the oil and changing the filter, I put 6 quarts in. I then backed off the ramp so the car was level and used the electronic oil level indicator, which seemed to take a minute or two to do the check, with the engine running. IT WAS JUST BELOW MAX! If I had put all 7 quarts in I would have overfilled. I have been changing oil on BMW's since 1975 when I bought a 2002, and have had BMW's since. RFT and no dipstick is STUPID. The manual's indes list "Oil Capacity" but the referenced page does not have that information. By the way I changed oil at 5,000 miles and the filter was quite dirty.
