BMW hopes you will drive straight to your Authorized BMW Service Center as soon as the oil-level light appears on the dash. Lord help the driver that wants to keep his oil topped-up at a track event.
Incidently, I understand Porsche and Mercedes have eliminated the dipsticks in their current models also.

I watched a service writer top off the oil in a 6'er just the other day...the owner was perplexed that the light was on and he couldn't figure out how to check the oil level.
I was under the impression they switched to the new lifetime engine oil

oil system without a dipstick! it took me awhile to get used to it on my e90, but its really not much hassle to check.
Its normally done when the engine is warm and running, by just rotating the column stalk and pressing it when you see the oil icon.

We took delivery at the very end of March. Premium package, and cold package, NAV, Sat Radio. very nicely appointed. Run flat radials are good for my wife since she insists on driving to work every day which entail NY Ave to Dupont Circle from Bowie, MD.
Do you have I-drive? Hers does and I think it is neet.

on my e90 the stalk is the left side steering column lever, and at the end of that same lever are control knobs and push switch. Rotate the control know when the engine is warm until you see the Oil indicator at the dash board. Once its lit, press the push sw on the same stalk and the oil level will appear. Takes about 3-5 mins for the engine to warm up! 335i will be much sooner
(sorry for the late reply)
