Lol, I didn’t mind not having a dipstick when I bought my 2011 328 because you could check it while driving. Now I have to be in park and wait a minute or so to see the actual level. No patience!

I had a 1983 Ford Escort 4 speed that I bought new, my first new car, and ran it for 200k. No power steering or power brakes. Near the end when I pulled the dipstick it was always filled with browny white gunk, but I retired it before it blew up!
