Low oil level or low oil pressure? You seem to be using the terms interchangeably which they are not. If the oil PRESSURE is low and the oil LEVEL is good then you have a serious problem with your engine.
did you ever figure out what happened

2017 bmw x5 ran dry on oil an low oil pressure light came on , topped it up an now won’t start starter turned once an then it skips all pulleys is turning ok so it’s not seizes , anyone know what the problem is
Tried to start my 05 BMW X5 one morning and it cranked but would not start. Checked oil and it was low. Added oil to proper level and the car started. The BMW has an oil level safety switch that prevents engine damage if the oil is low.
