If you're a stickler, drive to a totally flat surface and recheck. If still a smidge low, add a tiny amount and recheck.

Underhood sticker for US market is 0W-30. I'd get a quart from the dealer or a Group IV synthetic 0W-30 w/BMW LL-01. Remember - you're a stickler :-)
Is the BMW Pennzoil/Shell 0W30 a group IV?

I'm still using Castrol Edge 0w40 which is a group IV.
