How to check BMW Z4 Oil level (2006-2008)

There are 2 buttons under the speedometer. Press the right-hand one (after the engines warmed up.) It will show a scrolling bar while it checks the oil level. When it is done it will show the results and an "OK" if it is at an acceptable level.

    Fantastic video! I have a E89 Z4 as my daily but bought a 3.0 E85 for fun. I spent almost 30 minutes looking for the dipstick. Turns out the E85 is as complex as my iDrive BMW. Thanks! 😁

    Glad i have the M54 , dumb ass idea using sensor for that. I have had the low level oil sensor that sits in the bottom of the pan fail twice in 16 years. Glad I can check the level of the oil with a dipstick . Would not trust a sensor.

    I've driven my Z4 for a while and the oil level "loading" animation just times out and returns to the odometer without any reading. Pretty frustrating. I wish it was at least the error screen so I could positively identify what needs to be fixed. Thanks for the video.

    Hi. I just purchased a 2007 that has a small leak at valve cover gasket- the clock light stays on even after the engine is plenty warm for - it had a recent oil change - the oil check process takes over 5 minutes then just goes back to normal with no indication of oil level. ‘Any ideas/suggestions?

    I believe the 06-08 Z4 temperature gauge is the oil temperature, not water.

    Definitely water temperature. You can only access the oil temp via secret menu
