No Units on the Oil Level 'Gauge'
The problem with the oil level display is that it does not tell you what the units are - it just shows max/min points. Is the space between max and min a quart? a liter?
My M2 was down about 20% between max and min after 5000 miles and, figuring that this was a quart, I added three ounces or 10%. I was expecting the gauge to move halfway back to the max level. But there was no change. I didn't add any more to avoid the more serious overfilled condition.
So I just gave up. If the car needs oil, it will tell me. It burns about %20 of (max-min) every 5000 so I just change the oil and live with it.
I track the car and this drives me crazy. But I guess the BMW engineers know what they are doing. (0w30 in a tracked car - don't get me started!)
