on the dipstick corresponds to approx.
1.1 US quarts/1 liter.

damage the engine.

With a very sporty driving style, the
engine oil level should be at the upper
mark on the dipstick.

above the lower mark on the dipstick
before adding oil.

repair shop that works according to
BMW guidelines with appropriately
trained personnel.
