Hehehe......
This sounds like a good case of a BSD fault. I accidentally left a ground bolt loose after I did my large valve seal project on my 550i. It leads to three main components of the BSD system.

Oil level sensor
Alternator
DME

I changed out the alternator, no change
Changed out the oil level sensor, works beautifully.

Go the cheapest route first, and change out the sensor. I replaced the alternator as a precaution.

I'm happily will spend 250 dollars on a low mileage x5M alternator and a 7 dollar oil level sensor from the junkyard 2007 750li vs a 3k plus dme......and that isnt the issue lol.

Change out the sensor, make sure the ground bolts that holds the injection harness are secured/torqued

report back.
