Read the last pdf on how the OCS(oil condition sensor) works. Basically IF you do lots of short trips the water condensation in the oil can mess with the sensor. Also yes, when you get a SW update it could cause problems bc the SW updates EVERYTHING.

My basic practice is I do not trust what the car says until I have been driving for at least 45 minutes. You have to drive at least 10 minutes or 10 kms for the BC to even tell you the oil level. Still... on my car it might show the oil slightly low at first.. but after 45 minutes, it will show the oil level full.

That's my two cents on this e-dip-stick. I wish BMW would give us our old dip-sticks back. That and a place for a spare tire.
