My manual states I do have a dipstick in my 2015 m135. Have they started to bring these back in?

My manual says 6.5 litres of oil in total and min to max volume is 1 litre. So if it's on the min level it should take 1 whole litre to get to the max line.

A bit worrying that you added 500ml and the electronic level has not moved. If yours is 2015 do you have a dipstick too? I have been meaning to do a check with the dip stick on mine (since the manual states I have one) but the manual may be wrong. It's wrong about a few other minor things such as how to engage launch control.

It would be nice to understand how the electronic oil level check actually works. Since the engine picks up revs while it's doing it I assume it's pumping oil somewhere.

A colleague of mine had a faulty oil sensor on his 120 and consequently it had been overfilled with oil.
