Nothing wrong with both options.

The sensor is a great idea but relying solely on it was "best case engineering". I agree put a sensor in it even with a dipstick. Oil is too important. You also have to run the car for five minutes when cold and all sorts of nonesense. Getting rid of the dipstick was a stupid idea closely followed by getting rid of the spare tire. Again best case engineering. I saw a documentary last night about jets having 3 separate hydraulic systems. If bmw designed it they would put a single system with no gauge. You would have to go through 7 layers of menus to see your ass is done because hydraulic fluid leaked out from the crappy plastic hydraulic fluid reservoir. : )
