I just bought my first CSL today, before I had a chance to view the Oil dipstick video, my problem being that I have purchased the vehicle as a second company car, and our company rules state that vehicle oil level should be checked daily !!... I think I shall rewrite them !

You can still do that via the onboard computer screen in the cluster and physically check it every month.

Alternatively there's another way to get to the dip stick without ripping the airbox out - but you'll need to remove a couple of other trims on the top corner and go through there (works for RHD cars only) - I've tried it once and it's okay and slightly faster.

we are all dead serious on this forum

Actually there's another way to do this without removing the airbox .... but much easier if the car's up on a hoist or you have long arms with the car up on jack stands

Or if you really wanted to, swap in the standard E46 M3 oil dipstick and tube (but some bending is required)
