Hi everyone. Two quick (hopefully) questions. Since everyone here seems to be very knowledgable about these cars, help out a dummy please. 
First: how do I get the oil level reading in i-drive? Do I have to do this with car off prior to running (I have tried many other combinations, no luck-always tells me unable to get measurement at this time)?
Two: how do I delete radio presets without overwriting them (looking to actually reduce current number of presets).
Thanks everyone in advance,
Jimbo

Since EBMCS03 answered his questions already, all I have to say is, "Go Jim Dandy, Go Jim Dandy!" 
(Sorry I couldn't pass it up...welcome JamesDandy! Just think, after you become an E60 expert, you'll be able to help others answer their questions and then we can all say, "Jim Dandy to the rescue, Jim Dandy to the rescue!"
)
