The engine does a very very good job at scavenging the pan. Mine had a oil leak and the pressure light never came on either. I had ot put 4 quarts of oil in it.. Most cars the oil light comes on after the expensive noises start...

The lack of a real oil pressure gauge is one of the more arrogant of BMW configurations, nearly as bad as taking the dipstick off the new models.

How they can build a sport sedan without oil pressure? And a voltmeter...
My plain old jeep has better engine telemetry than my BMW.. Sad.
