I just bought a new to me 2004 E60 545. I want to check the motor oil level and the owners manual said the dipstick on the 545 to toward the rear of the motor. The only dipstick I see looks like the transmition oil dipstick. I have read many post but unable to find if these engines even have a dipstick. Can someone please tell me if the model has a motor oil dipstick or not?

Your 545 DOES have a dipstick. It is to the rear of the engine toward the firewall on the drivers side.

Thank you for the info. I thought that was the transmition dipstick. I have a lot to learn about this car.
