Looking for a Z4... not sure why!

[Pondy]

I can live without a physical dipstick,

But without one you can't physically see the colour of the oil, or how much crap is stuck to it.

I am sure 'ze Germans' only deleted dipsticks because the vast majority of owners didn't know what they were for.
Our 2025 Ford has a dipstick. And all the better for it.

Seeing as mine have only ever done about 4K miles a year I doubt the oil has deteriorated much between changes.

But my Z4 has one so I can still get my fingers dirty!
