E70 3.0 si (N52 engine) is not equipped with oil dipstick.

Best way is the old way:
Move the car on ramps for more clearance. Loosen the drain plug.
Warm up the engine, have a container ready underneath, remove the plug, change the filter cartridge (specs 25 Nm).
Leave the oil filler cap open, leave it drain overnight for better results.
Next day, plug the drain (specs 25 Nm), add new oil (6 quarts). Done [emoji736].
