Did you check the oil level?
Is it in range on teh dipstck?
BMW's burn some oil and need a top up from time to time.

That means check you oil level Check it out and see if it is low. The oil sensor is very sensitive on mine and from time to time I get this message too. The first time it happened I had the oil sensor changed but that did not fix the problem. I do not worry anymore when it shows as long as I know I am not low in oil. It is one of these electronic gremlins that the X is known for.
