Hi All,
I recently brought a 2005 Z4 2.0i...
I am aware that this car docent have a dip stick so I have to use the on board computer to check the oil level, however it only shows the following screen. To me it looks like there is no oil in it from this screen however it appears to be driving ok and in the listing the seller advised it had just had an oil change.
Is anyone able to verify what this is actually showing me.
Thanks in advanced.
Jonathan.

Chaps, if I'm not mistaken, the op's display doesnt tally precisely with any of the 4 screens indicated in the manual.
Assuming the oil level is ok and concurrent with screen 1, why is there no 'OK' showing on the op's display?
If tallying with screen 4 (over-filled) then the op's display could be faulty and showing only the left portion of the overfull symbol which appears on the right side of the closed brackets.
I'd exercise some caution here...

Thanks for the quick responses guys.
Unfortunately I don't have the manual for the car :S
I think I'll try and drain some out it does first look more like the 4th picture to me, as the okay light never comes on.
BRING BACK THE DIP STICK !!
