Description
A frustration too many BMW owners share is the inability to physically check the oil level. BMW began replacing traditional style dipsticks with new level sensors that display your oil level on your iDrive system. In theory, this could be great. An electrical, sensor-based oil level system would allow for continuous monitoring of the oil level and immediate warning in the event of oil loss. The main problem with this updated system is the sensors themselves and the sub-par electronics that control and report this information to the iDrive system. In practice, the oil level sensors have proven to be slow, inaccurate, and even faulty, displaying wildly inaccurate measurements.
Needless to say, the team over at Bimmerworld felt this needed to be addressed with something a little more reliable. Returning to the tried and true method, Bimmerworld now offers their very own S65 Oil Dipstick Parts Kit. This kit includes everything you need to install a dipstick in your M3.
Included:
- CNC bent 6061 aluminum dipstick tube
- Brand new dipstick
- Threaded oil pan bung & adapter (Requires welded installation - Professional installation strongly recommended!)
