Hey bro, the car has to warm up in order to measure the oil level, also if u stop the engine and start it after a few mins, you have to give it some time, just a couple of mins to measure the oil level. So the exclamation goes away for a lil bit if u stop the engine. The e60 alwas tells when ur oil level is going low. Look at the i drive "info sources menu", u can always see where ur oil level is even b4 it gives you any warning,,after driving it for at least 10 mins.I have an e60 myself. Also always carry a quart of oil with you.

[@JSpool1]

Your daughter is golden man lol... sounds like the stuff mine says too every time I get another car lol

[@Check.Control]

Very simple fix my friend. You either have a faulty oil level sensor and it is giving you the incorrect oil level measurement, or 2 you have an actual oil leak. If there is oil spots underneath your car, go to the shop and see where the leak is originating from. Your next option would be to have a complete drain and fill, and monitor the underside of the car and check for oil, let it warm up to operating temperature then leave it in your driveway. This will give you the most clear answer

[@JayJayFromAZ]

My 17 and 16 yr old know how to drive a standard/ manual vehicles. It’s very important in case they need to in a emergency situation. Good vid!!

[@thegreatpatsy]

So the car is unreliable because you don't know how much oil to add? A little tip...if the warning goes off, then don't add the quart. It's electronic and it needs to calibrate. Always add 3/4 not the full container because you could always add more later on. The engine holds nearly 9 quarts, it will be find depending on driving style and by yours you seem to drive like an old lady so you'd be fine. But I believe you sold the car because you're obviously not ready for a complex machine like this. It is a challenge to own, I know, I've had mine for 6 years. Gotta be handy or don't bother.

A tip from an E60 M5 owner: measure your oil level when the car is at operating temperature by longpressing the BC button and letting go. Measure 3 times. If the car is around 0.0 liter up to 0.2 liter, add about half a quart or approx 0.5 liter of oil. The car is ONLY able to measure differences of 0.5 liters and up. Now remeasure the oil level 3 times. If the level is between 0.5 - 1.0ltr you are good to go. PS. If you have really overfilled with oil, there is a quick fix: on the passenger side, in front of the front wheel, the oil filter is located under a plastic mudguard. Remove this triangular mudguard. You will see the oil filter housing and a allen screw in the middle. Release the screw and drain a littlebit of oil, retighten the screw, start the car, measure the oil level, until you get to the right level.

[@Alishaan2002]

Saw a comment predicting the next video, need to find the comment and praise them!😂😂

[@private6624]

Blown valve seals. When the oil is new and thinner it will leak alot more than when its older. You can thicken it with viscosity modifiers. The sensor is relatively accurate and when it hits the 1qt low message you add about 3/4 maybe a little less. It does have a dipstick. The sensor and message wont refresh until about 5 min passes by. They sell a seal product on amazon that might bandaid it for a while. Next will be smoke from your tailpipe, failing o2 sensors, etc. Shell out the 4k to 8k to fix it and move on.

[@NBWILBURN]

With the oil dipstick readout on the dash. 1.0 equals full and proper. 0.5 means you have burned half a liter and 0.0 means it is time to fill up with a liter of oil. The readout can also go negative just so you know. When filling the car up with oil always do about half a liter and let the car determine the amount that it has before filling up with the rest of the liter. Also, buy the bmw oil storage pouch so you also have a liter of 10w-60 in the trunk of the car at all times for road trips and other things. Also, I noticed that you put the key into the ignition to start the car. If the car has every option like you said it should have comfort access which means you can enter the car by grabbing any of the 4 handles and don't need the key in the ignition to start the car. You can also lock the car using the door handles.

In 2000, I happened to get divorced and sell my business shares, forcing me into BMW middle age craziness. My 36 month lease had 2 months remaining and I just left it at the dealer with the keys because I had to pay over a grand for front brakes. It was a 328I coupe and it did drive impressively, but the cost just didn't match my lessening enthusiasm for the brand. It was 10K UNDER lease mileage and I kept it so mint I was dreaming that the BMW dealer would give ME money after the lease. Instead, I was given a 5K bill for AC repair - which was working just fine - as well as other (made-up) problems. I say "made-up" because it was clear to them I wouldn't lease another one and this was their last chance to make money off of me. I didn't pay because, fortunately, I declared bankruptcy.

When low oil comes on, that means its low 1 quart and you want to add a quarter at a time because the oil senior isn't that accurate. Not a big deal.

[@ttrron1904]

My F30 has the same thing. When it tells me my oil is low, I usually park it on a flat surface add about 1/3-1/2 a quart, measure and add a little more if it is still not at the maximum line. It's much easier to add oil than it is to drain oil.

[@thomaseisen304]

Just to say , if someone didn't mentioned it before : This oil using thing is pretty common because it's a to small oil ring on the piston that is in all of these cars with the origin pistons ! BMW gives a sh-t about that and keep it quiet (only newer cars got now other pistons) , but there are pistons out there with the old style wider oil ring what will of course cost a decent amount of money but will end a lot of problems those cars have ! So if you are thinking about to keep that car for daily use I highly recommend to change the pistons ! Have fun !

Hey AutoVlog, I don't have a m5 but I asked some mechanics we know and they all agree that the e60 m5 cars require 0w- 40 oil because its thinner and can lubricate the rob bearings much faster and better compared to the bmw spec 10w- 60 oil because how thick it is which could resistant your camshaft and takes longer to lubricate the rod bearing in which heats up the engine much faster.

I recommend you Ravenol RSS SAE 10W60 for the M5! 👌🏻👌🏻 Awesome car, I’m sad because it was not even close to perfect when talking about reliability... But it’s awesome! And I’m very happy that you have a manual on the channel!! This car anyway is in it’s best configuration with a manual 💪🏻

Your driveway is slightly inclined upwards, thats what made the reading show 1.5 high. Oil gathering at the back of the sump from the incline and giving a higher reading, you need to check on a level surface and after the car was warmed up and been sitting for at least five minutes so some of the oil in the system drains back down to the sump. I think with the engine turned off.

[@ThatBeamerGuy]

Welcome to bmw mike Now this is a common issue sometimes when you drive too hard in my case the oil level shows too low but as the car cools down the idrive would show you the exact oil level and mostly it would be somewhat in the middle so you can try adding about 500ml but dispite all small issue bmw's are the best cars to drive the sheer torque is amazing, love your content long time supporter🚘😍

There’s a device that “harbor freight” sells that can vacuum the excess oil out.

[@bobcortez4427]

Had one of these towed to my shop one time because wait for it.... The guy just bought the car, flew into town with his wife to drive it back. All was good until his wife, while stopped at a gas station, thought she would help out and fill up the windshield wiper fluid - but she put the fluid into the oil. Needless to say, every warning that could come on did and he ended up shipping the car home. There wasn't much we could do for him besides a full flush and oil/filter change which didn't help. He took it to a dealer and I don't know what happened next.

Mike we have 5 BMWs including 2 M cars. The sensor for oil level is in the bottom of the oil pan. If you drain the oil the sensor is easy to change and not that expensive.

There is nowhere to put a dipstick or at least there isn't in my M135i.

My old man had an SMG version of this M5. Unbelievable engine. They are known to go through oil quickly when the engine is worn though. Good purchase though 👌

[@reily2869]

Hey Mike, I've got a bit of advice for you about electronic oil level sensors. Those sensors are very sensitive, and even if you're low even as little as a quarter of a quart, you will get some kind of message. My 2007 S60R did the same thing, but this car has a dipstick, and when I checked it, it was only down about a third of quart off of the full mark on my dipstick. Your M5 seems to behave the same way, so I wouldn't doubt that the systems are electronically similar. In that case, when you get that message, maybe only add a quarter of a quart at a time. I hope it works out for you!

I’ve worked on BMW’s for a while, and it’s become apparent that vacuum leaks from the air intake can cause the car to burn oil over time. Once you make sure your intake vacuum hoses are in check then you shouldn’t be burning any at all. Leaks are another issue though haha, good luck with those. Cheers on the M5

[@brendanfleming6584]

A manual E60 M5. No SMG means only half the problems of a normal one. Does it have a full main dealer service history as is? That would be the only reason I would bring it near a main dealer. Bring it to a good independent who knows that they're doing, not a main dealer that hasn't seen one of these in 10 years.
