Update
Had the oil change.
Mechanic saw oil coming from sump on underside of car. He said i had a leak.
However when i told him my pressure sensor was changed he assumed that would cause it
Apparently the chap who changed the sensor unscrewed it and put other one on and this apparently leaks oil down the gap in the area where the switch was.
Is this true or do i have a real leak....if so i have been advised to check the oil level and
Not to worry about any leaks...if it goes down then i may have a leak otherwise its due to the sensor swap.
Anyway so far message has not come on but i havent driven much.

Hi guys,
I seem to be have a problem with my 525d(2004). The low oil pressure light came on a couple of weeks ago and I have been trying to get to the bottom of it.
Took it to stealership and they did diagnostics and reported no codes. They told me it had more oil so they drained it to normal levels.
Anyway got it back and still the warning on idrive and red oil lamp on speedometer.
Got dealers to check oil pressure using gauge as from what i have read that was important.
Dealer says pressure is fine.
So my guess was that the oil pressure switch was faulty got it replaced and the warning is still there.
Any ideas or anyone been there?
