But now Subaru has everyone beat with the new location of their oil filter as it sits on top of the engine bay exposed and ready to be changed without a fuzz or drama.
Spark plugs are a different story
Now, back on topic...
I'm new to BMW cars and find it annoying not to have a DIPSTICK.
Was it to save money? What, $0.25 cents? Or was it to take more control of the maintenance of our own cars? I for one, do NOT trust a digital gauge measuring oil. I had a friend that had an X3, and it started to tell her that she was low on oil... Well, long story short, BMW had to replace the sensor before she put more oil in her engine and caused a catastrophic event. Now, nothing wrong with having both, digital and physical dipstick. BMW, why?, why?
