Help : Overfilled and the Oil Level Sensor

So my oil level was about 25% down between Max and Min lines and I decided to fill it. I put in a quart of TWS and afterwards I'm getting a too much oil warning. So I did what a lot people recommended and drained the front sump. I took out about .5L to .75L. (Just an eyeball guess). Fire the car back up and again same warning.

I was down some oil already and since I practically took out what I put it I thought it would be below the max threshold but the warning is still up.

Here's the part I'm unsure of should I try taking out more and see if the light will go off or does that sensor need to be reset after getting that warning? Will I be fine driving it even after doing all the draining and with the light still on?





I wish BMW had a gauge showing how many liters/quarts you have in the car instead of this Max and Min crap.
