Or do I have to reset somethin? All ideas would be brilliant.

Did it say the engine oil was over filled before the oil change, after, or both? The dipstick is your friend. I believe the best practice for an oil change is to fill to 1/2-2/3 on the min to max, then run the engine. Recheck the dipstick and fill to max. I have the same X5. If it were me, I would make sure the oil level was somewhere between min and max and drive for a while to see if the warning goes away. Otherwise you may be able to clear that warning with a scanner. The “oil level over filled” warning is a contact/no contact type of sensor like a brake pad sensor I believe but it’s possible it has gone bad.
