A few notes on the pictures:
1) It was not unexpected but the intake runners on the engine cover are not covering the actual intake runners.
2) This is my first BMW and the measuring end of the dipstick is pretty fancy compared to what I am used to.
3) A sticker in the engine bay provides instructions on how to check the oil level and a command to, "Check Engine Oil Level at every Fuel Fill-up!"

Congrats on your new 35d and a very helpful first post
BTW I think you should read about the
BMW C&D program introduced with the 2010 35d models. Playing around with your X5s dipstack and lifting the skirts for pictures, makes me think you are exactly the kind of BMW owner for which this program was designed. At least now you can't say you weren't warned.
