IF you do a lot of short trips and build up condensation in the oil (ie the oil temp never really gets too hot) the oil level gauge can display a false oil level (ie low). Read this TIS (oil condition sensor - page #5 bottom of page)...
BMW_oil_condition_sensor.pdf These TIS's might also be of interest for any early build cars. SI B 12 05 07 Low Oil Level Warning Message is Displayed.pdf SI B12 18 08 N54 Oil Level Programming.pdf |

Enjoy the car Don.. The "M" button is always on in my car... The throttle is more sensitive, so I always leave on as standard drive.. The "M" button is my Amex.. " Never Leave Home Without It ".. |

I have a follow up question (this is my first BMW so please bear with me). i have a 2007 116i - Yesterday while driving back from work 'low engine oil' sign popped up and it suggested to add 1L oil. I freaked out and stopped my car to check for any visible leakages (didn't find any). I started driving - the sign disappeared but after 10-15 mins the sign came back up again. And today in the morning before leaving for work - i checked the oil level and it said oil level OK (right in the middle of the gauge on the dashboard). I decided to take the public transport - being unsure of the oil level readings. The reason i freaked out was because i had a oil change 6 months ago (have driven 2k km since) - when i bought the car it had 166k on the meter and now its 168k. Is this serious? Or i should simply put 1L in it? HELP!
