BMW assist didn't know what kind of oil is required. They said oh you must have a 2007 we don't have information for that.

Dealer service closed

e70 abandoned pending towing in the morning.

Just got my JD power survey in the mail yesterday - inital build quality lol.
You have oil, the light means the oil level is low.
New engines use oil as they break in and needing oil after the first 3500 miles is not a surprise or a problem. You should periodically check the oil level and not wait for a light.
If this is the only issue you've had you have a good car.
