:thumbsdown: it is really shameful of BMW to say the least, that such a vehicle is not equipped with at least an oil level sensor which disables engine starting when the oil level reaches a certain point. The results are catastrophic for the engine and I have seen videos on U tube on BMW vehicles running out of control with this issue, until the cylinder head blows off. I was really scared with the engine revving. Just opened the bonnet and walked away from the car. When I removed the ignition key and the vehicle kept going I could not believe my eyes and had to pinch myself to see if I was dreaming. Really scary!
I was contemplating fitting a sensor in the oil dipstick even running a small LED which shows that the level has gone up.
This issue is really common. A week before somebody else in Malta had the same drama as people called me to tell me about it!![Fcuk](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/fcuk.gif)
