I like this one better..
"Hopefully, future motorists will no longer have to contend with going into the engine compartment and hunting for the oil dipstick with a rag in hand. That's a job where you don't want to be wearing a nice outfit."
For the above to be true, the driver should have driven a Merc or Audi rather than a BMW. How often do I wear nice outfit to drive my E90? :stupid:
I beg to differ, you cannot compare oil level gauge and fuel gauge. Then would u care to explain why we still have a fuel gauge on the meter cluster? We already have a "remaining mileage for fuel count down" and a low fuel "Ding..Ding..Ding" alarm.. so do away with the fuel gauge la!
The most high tech petrol kiosk is using petrol dipstick..
Fuel is straight forward.. got fuel or no fuel. Its uncommon to monitor dirty fuel.
But when it comes to engine oil,
1) How to tell if the engine oil color has been overly darken by carbon deposit to indicate time for oil change?
2) How do we tell one engine oil is better than others without looking at how fast the oil color darken?
3) How do we know if there's a minor leakage in cooling system or gasket resulting in engine oil contamination and turn teh tarik color?
I guess the BMW philosophy is to push towards "Drivers' car" or rather "Technically Dumb drivers' car"..
OK, now run for cover, where's my kevlar jacket!!!..
