FROM THE PDF:
It would help if they gave us a dipstick. 
While we're on the subject, ramps or jack stands? I would like to use ramps but am afraid there isn't enough bumper clearance to drive up them.
BMW recommends that you check your engine oil level whenever you add fuel to your vehicle.

Did you use the european formula or just the regular synthetic? I think that if my oil is getting changed every 6 months, regular synthetic will be fine.
