Perhaps I am old school, bud I prefer to see, feel and smell my oil ... it tells me something about the well being of my engine.

All we can hope is that BMW will bring the dip stick back some day ... just don't hold your breath.

As for the level, yes it is all over the place I do keep a close eye on it ... generally I monitor the level during extended drives ... and just before I park her for the night (at the end of a trip).

I find like others that it takes about 10 KM or so for the level to show up after initial start.
