[QUOTE="Orion, post: 604588, member: 26073"] Thanks for the diagnosis Astroboy. I will be monitoring it and see if it goes any lower. The thing is that I do it on the iDrive and it will take some time after engine start before it shows the level of the engine oil. And when the engine is running it oil level at the bottom would probably be lower becuase it is flowing and sloshing around right? I kind of agree with you that the accuracy of the sensor may be questionable - if the mileage calculations of the on board computer shows a different value (usually reads better milelage per litre) than my calculations, it will imply that the engine oil measurements are also estimates. For my last 3 measures the computer shows 9 to 15% better mileage compare to my "pump full tank and divide by distance" approach. [/QUOTE]
