Look at what we found in BMW's new V8! Dipstick!
We found something in the new 4.4L V8 in the M850 that is supposed to be coming for 2020MY. It has a dip stick! a real and honest dip stick!

It has to be an accident - BMW swore off the mechanic dipstick a decade a go - they can't have been wrong, they are BMW.
There are just some things where electronics and complication don't make something better - glad BMW finally realized that a mechanic measuring device is just way better than anything electronic they can come up with!

They will probably realize their error and recall it

Since I've been clinging to my beloved e46 330i, I didn't even know it went away. Anybody know why? How would you verify your exact oil level after servicing?

There is a way to measure the engine oil via the iDrive system

Finally, hopefully they bring this to the other engines (specifically the inline 6's), I much prefer the old fashion way of checking oil via dipstick than the stupid electronic sensor that just says "ok."

how old you think millennials are?
I thought the new M5 and new 8 series shared the same engine.

it would only be poetic if they have fired the DIPSTICK that felt like not having one was a good idea.

Hope it is not some "prototype" they are "testing" for another e-dipstick and actually give us an old fashioned working one.
Hell, sell us a "conversion" kit as well, so we can use an actual physical dipstick instead of electronic one. |

lol, you don't think it's a pull starter? Looks like more of a dip-string.
