Man, thanks for you effort on this video. Just picked an X5 up today and had some questions. So far your videos have been the most informative. Thanks!
I have a question if you check your oil dipstick see its to the full mark, but you then wipe it off and place it back into the tube. Immediately take it back out and it's bone dry what does that mean? After I drive then look at it, it's back to the full mark.
It means that you need oil. There's oil in it, just not enough. While you are driving around the oil that's in there is splashing around and hitting the dipstick. The reading you are getting after you wipe the dipstick is the correct reading.

I just changed my oil about to change my oil filter too
That's great
Just changed oil filter too
It used to be an old joke that if a BMW was not leaking oil, it had no oil in it. LOL!
LOLOLOL, looks like it is still true. The starter we did on that 740il had leaks as well.
I am still wondering about that condensation?
Me too, lol!
I hope you get to do that video on that housing gasket
They are pretty sure they are going to get it done, just have to wait a little in order to set the appointment.
