335d oil level - check when cold or warm?
As title says, is the oil level correct when the car is warm and turned off for around 10 mins or from cold? Last oil change was 5000km ago and now when it’s cold the dipstick shows at minimum and when it’s warm and left for about 10 mins the dipstick says maximum.

There's no way that's right. Even if you check when cold and compare to up to temp you're not going to see almost a litre difference on the dipstick.

The important thing about checking the oil is doing it regularly and consistently, looking for trends. Send a sample out for oil analysis once in awhile. Un-tuned variants are known to produce stupid levels of fuel dilution any dealer will tell you is perfectly fine.
