If only the diesels get dipsticks, I would then want the 123d over the 135i for sure. |

Well, we may not be able to check the level manually, but we can still dip a finger down the 'oil fill' bung to get a whiff of the earl and a look at its color.

Can't see whya dipstick would matter. Just so you KNOW what level your oil is at..? Whats the point of that..?
The only think you need to know is when it gets too low. Thats all that matters! -Garrett |

I recognize that not everybody has experienced what it takes to get a vehicle with a dead engine out of Pritchett Canyon, so I understand that not everyone shares my paranoia, but that's the way I feel. Even for a road car that will never get anywhere near Pritchett. Just getting a whiff and a look at the color isn't enough for me. Last edited by Nixon; 08-10-2009 at 04:06 PM.. |

w/ stock boost levels the turbos should surpass 150k miles... Remember that the water pump runs after shut down preventing coaking. Whether the motor makes it that far has yet to be determined.
