Chrome needs to make a comeback

OP maybe my eyes are broken, but I see that as significantly overfilled. The oil is supposed to mark right under the fifth hole up top. You’re reading into the twisted part of the dip stick 🧐. I would guess it would have to be at least 1-2 quarts overfilled to reach up there.

Also an unwritten rule for old dipsticks with the holes, is count the number of holes. This usually indicates the sump capacity. In this case 5 quarts. Now keep adding holes roughly at same distance up to your mark. Maybe 3.5 overfilled?

So yes, you need to pull some oil out.

Barely overfilled??? It’s an inch above the crosshatch! Thats easily a quart and a half overfilled. It’s supposed to reach right before the final hole at the top. Here, the level is reaching the part of the dipstick that is twirled.

E92??? I’ll be respectful, and keep the comments to myself…

But I’ll just say this the 335is is what the E92 M3 should have been.

The answer is easy the greatest BMW ever made e46 M3. It all went downhill from there.
