<div dir="auto">Yeah, I went to check the oil in my wife's 2015
BMW, no dipstick. I talk into a mechanic I know and he told me
they don't have them anymore. Later on I bought a 2015 Mini
Cooper s, again, no dipstick. The way you check the oil on
this one is you have to be on a perfectly flat surface with
the card operating temperature and running, then you step
through the menu and there's something on there about checking
the oil it takes one or two minutes and comes back and tells
you how full it is. Personally, I think the whole thing defies
logic, the dipstick was easier. Plus, in a pinch, you always
had something to stick the marshmallows on at the fire pit.</div>
