No dipstick...that's just stupid! Ever BMW I've owned burns at least some oil, my M5's being the worst of them all.

Hopefully you learned to listen to the messages that it tells you instead of assuming. I don't know where it all could have gone, maybe you're just burning a larger amount of oil than most or maybe your shop mechanic is incompetent and didn't top off the oil level. I know some M5 owners who went around the same mileage as you and had the same symptoms. Nature of the beast sometimes I guess.

Agreed...received same message under hard braking. Installed new brakes/rotors and stainless steel braided brake lines...after several attempts to bed the brakes, she gave me the message. Indy gave her a clean bill of health and haven't seen that message since.
