Hey guys,

My new G05 is booked in for its first oil service. Having owned BMs for over 20 years I know you can't always trust even the best dealerships, so in the past I've always checked the oil using the dipstick when I pick up the car. One time, it was abundantly clear the dealer hadn't changed the oil and therefore the filter. I went to town on them.

Problem: Service booked for next Tuesday. G05 30D doesn't have a dipstick. Is there a way to check the oil or that the work was done?

More generally, do you guys have faith in your dealership?
