You can use iDrive to measure oil / it would just be a verification to the automatic reading while driving.
Your warranty book list oils you can use to top off if you can't find the BMW oil.

Just out of curiosity, do you encounter a lot of idling in back-ups or extended high-speed driving ?
Yea I know the importance of having enough oil in the engine, but I'm more just asking if others have encountered this warning/issue. I havn't heard of this type of thing with the n55. I drive the car as it should be driven, but not for any extended period of time. I have about 40 minute commute other than that just local driving.
