    This may seem like a dumb question - but where exactly do you add oil to a 550i??

    My iDrive tells me to add a quart and I just want to make sure I put it in the right spot...

    Thanks

    There are two large openings in the dash directly beneath the iDrive screen. Pour it in either one. ;)

    OK, kidding aside, the filler looks to be at the front of the right cylinder bank (left side as you face the engine). There should be an oil-can graphic and (usually) "BMW recommends Castrol" on the cap.

    Thanks

    already tried pouring it in the iDrive...

    Thanks - That's what I thought but when you look under the hood it isn't as clear as it is on older cars.

    Check your dipstick first. Your car has one. Do not trust what i-drive tells you. You may be adding oil when you don't need to.
