Hi I am a newby

Not sure where to post this question

My oil light comes on about 10 seconds after I start up and stays on ( in yellow btw) for about 10 seconds then goes off , oil levels are fine

It is a 2003 330ci covert

Cheers

Did it get a reset?

I wouldn't say its losing oil, merely priming itself. I hear you saying "After seven weeks?", although it had an oil change the sump and pick-up will still be fouled and whoever did the service would not have cleaned these so expect a light at some point as the new oil will only dilute it !

She's just getting upto pressure matey ;)

      Did the E61 have a non-slide sunroof?

      I recently purchased a 2007 530i Touring with a panoramic sunroof. However, the sunroof only tilts. I assumed this was a fault so took it to my local specialist but they say that it's a non-slide sunroof, it just tilts. Did BMW make a panoramic sunroof that doesn't slide for this model? The specialist did no exploratory work, and I can't help but think they're wrong. It's very odd, as the sunshade also doesn't go all the way back, it stops about half way, meaning the rear half of the sunroof would never be seen. I just can't imagine why BMW would design a sunroof like this - surely it's faulty. Any assistance very welcome indeed!

      530e Servicing Requirement

      Hello Zat Welcome to the Forum Is your Warranty/Protection plan with BMW or an Aftermarket Company ? If it is an After market Warranty then they will just require proof of service to support the Warranty. There is a register of BMW Specialist's in the UK Google will help generally their Labour rates are around half that of BMW Dealers but they do have the knowledge and equipment to carry out all service and repairs needed Experience tells me most Service our selves statements mean Oil and Filter as the cars iDrive system records service intervals against time/distance it probably hasn't been touched. Even Dealers tend to record the service electronically and on the iDrive these days so you may have to ask for the service book to be stamped 😁 Progress Personally I have never trusted Extended service intervals and always carry out a full service annually Good Luck with finding a Specialist and enjoy your new car Dave
