Interesting indeed!! I have never had this in my BMW's with several recent new ones. or with 2ffer. It could be:
1. Not filled enough when you got it? Doubt that completely though. BUT I guess it could happen when dealer prepped it.

2. Doubt if sump bolt is not tight...but that could be also. If you have not seen a leak on floor, then that's probably not the culprit.

3. Could be a malfunction in the computer reading things inside, and giving a faulty signal. If that was case, then it would not be good to overfill an already full oil sump.

My best counsel is take immediately to dealer, or call them. I would not drive it a long distance a qt. low but if you are close, you would be OK.

Add the proper oil and definitely get in touch with them, then log it, with miles and date after contacting them, and watch it carefully. It is definitely unusual.
