Wow I hope everything turn out OK...
If they have done any recent work on the car...you never know...I've had plenty of bad luck with a dealer... and if the car gave no warning ... Could be numerous things. Keep us updated and Good luck with your situation

We topped off the engine oil about a month ago at the dealership but that's about it. I'll keep you guys posted.

Check the oil lines and oil filter canister. Also check the pan at the bottom of the engine. Sounds like too much oil blew a line out. Sadly, if you topped off the engine as indicated, the warranty isn't going to cover a possible messed up engine.

Do you guys out there have a routine you do for your oil top ups? I have 12,000KM and apart from the oil change I did at break-in @ 3-4k I have not done any kind of check to the oil (Since a 3.0 does not have a dip)... Do I rely soley on what i-drive tells me from the e-dip-stick?

As for the "e dip stick", yeah..you would most likely have to rely on it. I'm not sure of another way you could measure the oil.

Yep, you are correct..I did not read it that way...
I read this thread http://www.xoutpost.com/x5-e70-forum/...l-warning.html only assosciated with the 4.8... but why would BMW take out the real dip stick in the 3.0, it appears the 4.8 has one? Just one more thing to keep me up at night :-)
