I'm willing to bet it's just an example they have on a shelf as a sales tactic.

John, which version did you get? the one with or without underdriving the alternator (mine does underdrive it). Do you have a picture of the belt they sent you, or can you see markings on it still? Just wondering...
+1, got mine too but I've been distracted and forgot to thank you!
In my experience, it's not. My uncle has a 750Li which is one of the few cars with both a dipstick and an electric oil level sensor. The one day the car claimed it was low on oil, so I figured it probably just needed a quart. I then checked the dipstick - to my alarm it was dry before wiping. I filled a full quart and saw nothing. Put in a second, and saw a tiny bit on the bottom. A full 3rd quart got it to between the minimum and the maximum point. Of course I waited a few minutes between each fill to make sure the got to the pan
I think he was able to get the dealer to replace the sensor after that, but still - no errors or anything. If the N62 didn't happen to have a dipstick, we would have never known and the car would've been running 2-3 quarts low every day.
