The 2006 BMW 525i features a maintenance-free engine and lacks an oil dipstick. Instead, it provides a method to check the oil through the settings menu on the Drive infotainment system. To access this feature, navigate from the main menu to the "Vehicle Info" button, then select "Service requirements". Within this submenu, locate and click on "Oil level" to view the status indicator. This innovative system aims to assist individuals unfamiliar with checking their oil, offering clear notifications when oil is needed. Routine checks, recommended monthly, can prevent issues like the known problem of oil starvation in the MINI Cooper engine.
