    It's a bit difficult to see the oil level from this picture, but the entire rectangular block was wet. Car must not have been leve where it was parked because if you flipped over the stick, the rectangular block was only wet 1/3 of the way up on the other side.
    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

    Is that common across our cars? I live by the dipstick especially since I don't have a baffle yet so I always overfill for Autocross but if I can't trust the dip stick then my entire life has been a lie.

    I had that similar issue over a year ago and it randomly went away.

    Naturally with all this shut down garbage the zhp sits a lot so i make an effort to drive it for about half hr every weekend, but when i come home and turn it off the oil light goes yellow and stays on for about 10 seconds.

    - Checked the oil this Sunday and level seems fine
    - Oil change was done Sep 2019 at 62.8k miles, and it’s at 64.6k now. Oil level sender was changed at this visit as well
    - OPG was changed Oct 2018 at 57.7k miles
    - Engine bay looks clean with no signs of leak

    Have you added oil? You can easily over full by 1/2 qrt without issues. In fact, I overfill before every track day.

    +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.
