Oil level measurement
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
It was possible to perform the engine oil level check of the 1st generation via oil condition sensor while driving. However, this resulted in the following requirements:
- Increased effort for the adaptation of the application software (longitudinal acceleration, lateral acceleration, engine speed, oil pressure)
- Each change to the oil circuit requires new adaptations
- System response sometimes not comprehensible for the customer
The engine oil level check of the 2nd generation via oil level sensor differs to the previous version as follows:
- Qualitative measurement while driving
- Quantitative measurement during vehicle standstill
