I may be a bit old school, but I’m just supposed to trust that the car will let me know? Damn!

If you want a dipstick...you'll need to get the V8 engine in one of the newer V8 models below (for some reason BMW brought back the dipstick in these models). There may be more, but I don't follow the 4 & 6 cyl models:
  • 5' G30 - M550iX, Sedan, N63R  (10/2015 — 02/2019)
  • 7' G11 - 750iX, Sedan, N63R, AUTO   (10/2014 — 02/2019)
  • 7' G12 - 750iX, Sedan, N63R, AUTO & ALPINA B7, Sedan, N63R  (10/2014 — 02/2019)
  • X5 G05 - X5 50iX, SUV, N63M, AUTO  (10/2017 — 02/2019)
  • X7 G07 - X7 50iX, SUV, N63M, AUTO  (11/2017 — 02/2019)

{dipstick = #22}

When I got my 2013 650 3yr ago, first thing I did getting home with it was raise the hood looking for a dipstick. After 15min of "WTF" I went inside and googled dipstick. So while the question seems stupid to the veterans here, for a first timer its a valid question.
Great looking car BTW
