Hey guys, I just recently bought a 2011 328xi and when I first got it in Florida I went through all the menus on the dash and came up on the Oil level indicator. At the time it said I had good oil level and I didn't worry after that. I recently got the car shipped from Florida to Minnesota and before it shipped I checked that indicator again to see if it was still good and it was. When I got the car here in Minnesota, I ran through the indicator again and instead of showing the level it shows just a tiny icon pinwheeling. I've been trying to check it when the car is warm but still nothing. I was just wondering what I should do about it, or do I need to reset it?

Thanks for the help!

You need to drive it longer.

It will warn you if it gets below a qt low.

Go for a nice long drive and then check it.

You need to hit operating temp. It takes about 10-12 minutes of driving.
