Oil Issue
So today I've had to leave my car with the dealer a warning came up on Monday saying oil level maximum. They updated the software on Monday so I thought it was due to that but the dealer tells me they have to drain it etc and they have another one in with the same issue and its a known issue with BMW now.......
Anyone else had this? |

Dealer called to say mine is done, but he has another 3 in since Friday Morning...... seems its the software updatew they did - needs a bit of tweaking to read the oil level correctly

Software and sensors... ugh.
I haven't seen this on my G12, however on my F01 I had, I had an issue where the service indicator for my brakes did rapidly increase my need for replacement despite having plenty of pad left. Had the software reloaded once, and later the sensors were recalibrated. Oh well, car is gone now, and in my G12. Still new, so hopefully I dont have the oil issue use or hyper-active brakes wear sensors.

once the engine is full warmed up, stop on a level surface and check oil level one more time with the engine on. these sensors are extremely accurate. I think action should be taken if it warns you that the engine is overfilled. |
