Hello, my girlfriend recently got a 320i se, I am worried about the oil light being on, the oil level is fine (is black though so needs a change), its halfway up the marks on the dipstick. What else could put the light on? And how can I check it? Thanks

Theres plenty of threads about this, cleaning the sensor with petrol helps

Nothing to worry about if the level is fine. Using genuine oil filters seems to help aswell
