E92 335d oil check...

Hi guys,

Does anyone know how to check the oil level of my car via the dash or iDrive? I can't seem to figure it out.

There's a manual dipstick so I can just use that for now but it would be useful to know if there is an "in-car" way of doing this.

I checked via the dipstick and it's just barely above minimum so I think I will top up with half a litre. Does this sound reasonable?

Cheers

You cant electronically check it as far as Im aware.

Also make sure the car is fully upto operating temp. Shut down and wait 5 mins before checking.

Then you get a true reading.
