Guys the electronic dip stick is kind of a dumbed down version of the real thing. I think its only a rough guide to the actual oil level. Basically to warn you when the oil is really low. When it is over filled... the gauge will not show that. Once I put in 7 liters and it still read full. So I don't really trust it for micro metering. I only use it as a guide. This is yet another reason to change one's oil frequently. I don't like not knowing how much oil is ACTUALLY in the sump! Wish BMW would give us our dip sticks back!

When changing your own oil - I would just dump in 6.5 liters or 7 quarts and let things be.
