How’s your CCV? Might want to double check that system or tackle it in the future if you haven’t done so already, I had an intermittent light like that a few months back and it turned out to be a clogged CCV. After the cold months subsided I’ve recently taken it on a few long drives and it has some vacuum pressure again, but no where near as much as it should.
I’m doing an M56 valve cover instead personally

I’m thinking level sensor is failing. The sensor is in the back left part of the pan where the deepest collection area is (see pic), so unless you were parked on an extremely steep nose-down slope I can’t imagine it being steep enough to trigger the light.

FYI the dipstick on these cars is an absolute sack of shit. I was getting the yellow oil light after shutdown with the dipstick looking fat & sassy like yours, so I'm like bruh that oil level sensor is going no doy.
Ordered a new one and went to replace it and only drained like 5qts from the pan
Stupid ass dipstick never even hinted at it being low
+1 to this. I probably check my oil every other, or every 3 weeks. Not sure how a dipstick can have inconsistent readings though
Yup, this is what I do with each autox I've been doing. Doesn't quite solve lifter tick, but I feel it definitely helps
The dipstick is pretty accurate. Remember BMW has specific instructions for checking your oil, per your owner's manual.
The engine needs to be warmed up, the car on a perfectly level surface, and checked a few minutes after shutting the engine off.
You'll get a different reading when checking it cold versus engine warmed up a few minutes after shutting off.
