New BMW do not have a traditional dip stick, so no. But you could unscrew the oil filter cap(when the engine is cold!) and take a look at the oil color.
Since our car's use direct injection... it does noyt take very long to turn new oil black though. SO you won't be able to tell much by the color. You could take an oil sample this way though.
I always change my oil every 6K miles(max) or every four months. That is my OCI.
