Where is dip stick on 2001 5 series bmw - 2001 BMW 5 Series

Hi gina. Their no easy way to check the oil level on these cars. sadly BMW decided not add a dip stick for the easy pull the stick and check it. you have to rely on the oil level sensor, if its low you should get a oil level warning light on your dash. not to be confused with the service light. hope this helps.

It's a sealed system so there is no dip stick. See this tutorial for more information:

there are some models of BMW that do not have a dip stick. BMW figured people were doing more harm than good with a dip stick, being able to put in whatever fluid they wanted so they took the dip tick out of some models. the only way to get your oil checked is to go to a dealer or mechanic...

The automatic transmission in a 1999, Series 5 BMW, which is classified as Tiptronic (access to individual Drive positions 1 to 5 is offset toward the Operator, from the P,R,N,D positions), and the transmission is lubricated for its' life; therefore, a dip stick is not available. BMW does NOT recommend shifting the transmission fluid. However, it can be shifted by first draining the old fluid, and then refilling with the recommended fluid level to the fill hole, directly at the transmission itself.

The newer power plants do not have a dip stick for checking oil level. Oil level is checked by either the I-drive or by using the BC stalk.

Your Z3 has the M54 series engine. the oil dip-stick is on the driver's side, toward the rear of the engine. Notice the small red top of the dip-stick, in the photo, between the intake manifold and the brake fluid reservoir (behind the silver stressbar).

it wont be a dip stick as such it will be a single bolt on the side of the gearbox remove this then top up the gearbox until the oil starts weeping out of this hole wait for it to stop leaking then replace the bolt job done!

it is a sealed trans. you will have to bring it to BMW to have them take a look.... they dont put a dip stick on that car and many other's so you can't do anything except bring it to them to have it worked on... sorry for the bad news.... hope this helps you

If you don't know why BMW doesn't have a transmission fluid dipstick you should seriously consider finding a trustworhty BMW mechanic in your area.

hey there
they are normal at the back of the motor and really low almost so you cannot see it
i am thinking the passengers side towards the back down low and close to the motor
when checking fluid using the dipstick for the transition you must pull the dip stick out with in 5 seconds of turning the car off don't do it while the car is cold as you will get an unaccurate mesure
