Low oil?

I just picked up my first M3. 2012 with 18K miles. I got it from a dealer in MD and it was delivered on Saturday.

When I took delivery I went for a 5 minute drive and I got the low oil warning. I haven't driven it since as I was waiting on additional paper work from the dealer before I could go to the registry.

I took it out tonight, same warning, low oil +1 quart. I've attached some pics.

I did a search and see that this topic has been discussed a lot but I can't make out if there could be an oil sensor issue or it really is a little low.

The car was serviced and is a CPO and supposedly the oil was changed this month.

This is my 5th BMW but my first M but I've never had an issue like this.

Could it be a sensor issue or could the tech have not filled it enough?

Any advice would be much appreciated!
