Thank god the N57 has a physical oil dipstick you can check. Those sensors are notoriously known to be all over the place. I think my F11 N57 always shows full as well, however I always use the dipstick to check level.

Thanks, yes that's a good idea to have the dipstick. I use it but I want to fix it too.

Hello All,



I have a BMW X6 E71 N57 engine, I have an issue with the engine oil level sensor. It always show full, when you start car and measure the engine oil level, it start then it goes to max.
There are 3 wires Power, BSD and ground to DME.

I did the following
1. change oil to new and put a new Oil level sensor  still same
2. check all wiring from sensor to DME and fuse box all perfect
3. cut all wiring from sensor and direct to DME and fuse box still same
4. put a new fuse 20A still same
5. drain all oil from sump (empty sump) and check (with engine off of course) still same

I already changed the following
1. Heater plug it has LIN communication
2. Battery IBS it has LIN connection
3. Alternator checked at alternator specialist and says all ok.

Any idea what can cause this and how to fix this

Thanks

have you tried draining the oil, and filling it with 2 less quarts and then drive around to see if the oil level at min/oil level below min message comes on?

The oil level measurement on the display with no oil in the engine is most likely showing the long term measurement. you have to drive the vehicle and update the short term and long term measurement first.

Thanks for reply.
Yes i put 4 liters of oil and still shows high
Drive car with correct amount of oil as per dipstick still shows high
