Engine Oil - Slight over fill?

Hey guys, I have BMW X5 3.0d (2006)
Today i serviced it, but slightly over filled the engine oil.

On the dipstick, there is the Low and High mark
My oil level would be 2mm higher than the high mark

Is this a concern?
I am generally very particular with oil levels, but today i had a brain fail.
I don't want to over pressurise anything.

Thank You

EDIT: Oh dear, i never realised it was meant to be in the middle
I have always done it as close to the MAX as i can, without going over it
