I looked for the dipstick on my 545 but didn't find it. If it does, where is it?

The 545 does have a dip stick. I've used it like a few times... the 545 doesnt have a electronic read out in the iDrive so it BETTER have a dip stick.

Heres a pic of a 550 engine with a black dip sick located in the same location... which leads me to beleive it is a dip stick but they included the electronic iDrive readout and just told people that the 550 doesnt anymore.
If you think about it the 550's 4.8L V8 is basically the same one as the 545's 5.4L V8 but they up the power to it.
