- Rumors say that you can't check the oil on the E90 BMWs. It doesn't have a regular dip stick but an electronical one. You can check it via the on board computer wich is operated by the rocker and button on the indicator stalk. You can even check it while driving. The computer will also warn you about a low oil level before you run out and even tells you how much oil to add. Very convenient for the driver!
Unfortionately not so convenient for DIY mechanics. Though it's more of a nuisance than a disaster.
And yes, my camera sucks at video.
Omgahhhh I'm glad you made a video like this!! I just bought my first BMW and of course I don't want f*** up anything!!
+Janelle Nez Don't worry. If its a newer BMW it's gonna tell you everything that has to be done.
But I would recommend more frequent oil changes than what dealers tell you.
+Svein Erik Edsberg good to know👍
Bro, don't use Biltema oil and then say its high quality! My old car overheated because of their "high" quality oil.
But nice video!
Daniel San how do you know its the Oil could be a ton of other things?
OscarWithC Because it was diagnosed with it... The oil couldn't lubricate it!
We have changed the oil and havent had any problems at all.
Use a funnel if you are so sloppy pouring things.
castrol or mobil 1 is waay better oil, nice video👌
Thanks this is so useful
Got a pre purchase inspection done said I just needed oil and a brake flush, I checked my oil level (2008 e90), says its at max... It does show the oil at yellow.
It does show I need a brake flush it's at yellow light.
Yes, that oil is a definition of quality but maybe on Mars.
biltema oil :D
Mine says empy yet filled it 3 week bak. No dipstick .hate the thing
thank you for going that trouble
Glad you did!
Thank you.
My car smoke, e90 2008. I have changed oil separator, but still same problem with low oil , please help.

+1l=add 1 liters?
Yes.
how mụch km for 1lit. thanks
Do you always have the option to check the oil level or only when you get a warning that its low?
+Dovydas Lesevicius You can check it anytime you want. But you need a warm engine to get an accurate result.
You see I 2006 E90 and this option doesnt show up :/
Do you have iDrive?
No
Then it should come up. Ignition has to be on, I think.
Do you have a regular dip stick?
Seats are dirty
sloppy job, this made me cringe. Letting that oil drop down under the engine cover is a recipe for disaster.
It's a BMW. It's gonna leak oil everywhere anyway.
Svein Erik Edsberg that's retarded. I have 6 bmw e90s and have no such problems. Change gaskets when they go and degrease the engine after any work. When oil and lubricants get elsewhere it shortens the lifespan of parts it comes in contact with. Great example is you wouldn't want that oil to run off and down onto your belts.
