What is it?
The manual says about 4 qts.
Morton's BMW says that was a mis-print in the manual & the oil level should be just at the bottom of the sight glass when on a center stand. Thats about 3.2 quarts. I learned this after they did a rear seal job & let me know the oil level was too high (I had it per the manual - middle of sight glass on side stand) before they did the job.
For over 3 years, I've been doing 4 quart oil changes (with filter). I hope I didn't do myself on the previous rear seal failure on that account...
Anyway, I've run a forum search and didn't see this noted.
Hate to start another oil thread, but...
