Assuming that max oil level in 650i is about 9.5 liters, you could divide 255 / 9.5 to see how this number will change if you have less oil than you should.

Well that's an interesting explanation, and one I would not have guessed if you gave me 100 years.
Before I downloaded the app I assumed the "dashboard" of parameters it could monitor live was a set list of the common things - oil temp, coolant temp, etc. I did not realize it has a list of about 200 things to choose from. Although many of them are self-explanatory, many are not. Like why are there at least three separate battery voltage categories? Nobody explains any of this stuff.
