There is a third option...you come home and drain every oil change into a clean pan and measure the fill....To compound the problem, BMW has seen fit to eliminate tech info...like "engine oil/filter change fill quantity" from the owners manual (at least for my X1)....so you can't even specify the fill quantity on your shop work order. I'd guess the oil overfill issue will bubble up (pun intended) when these new model series come off free dealer maintenance and folks take them to indie shops where the level of BMW knowledge might not be perfect.
