Hi All,
My 2009 E89 3.5i has twice given a notification of Oil Level Below min level, shortly (1 min) after starting the car. I read the manual the first time and it said that it needs time to warm up to read accurately. I waited and tested the level again on the Vehicle Status screen and it said maximum.
Two months later, this morning, it warned me again, and this time the notification remained so I took it straight in to BMW and they said "your oil is full". I got back in the car and it said now said "Full" on the screen. (It wouldn't let me test it this morning.)
So I asked them why and they said it could be the sensor. Well yeah, probably.
They want $320 to plug it into an ODBD reader for an hour. I hate to think what they will want to actually install the sensor...
So I will take it back to them tomorrow.
Any thoughts? I live in Melbourne Australia.
