BMW B48 / B58 Oil Level Dipstick Kit V2

Add a reliable, easy-to-read manual oil level dipstick to your BMW B48 or B58 engine with the STROM Motorsports Oil Level Dipstick V2.

Designed specifically for BMW B48 and B58 engines, this bolt-in kit replaces the factory thermal oil level sensor with a conventional mechanical dipstick, giving you a quick and straightforward way to physically check engine oil level.

With no drilling or tapping required, the V2 dipstick kit is an ideal solution for B48 and B58 engine swaps, track cars, race cars and performance builds where being able to manually verify engine oil level is particularly valuable.

Mechanical Oil Level Check for B48 & B58 Engines

Modern BMW B48 and B58 engines rely on an electronic oil level sensor rather than a conventional dipstick.

For engine swaps and motorsport applications, a physical dipstick provides a simple way to manually inspect the engine oil level without relying solely on electronic monitoring.

The STROM V2 kit replaces the thermal oil level sensor and provides a dedicated BMW B48 / B58 mechanical oil dipstick in its place.

Bolt-In Installation – No Drilling or Tapping

The V2 kit has been designed as a bolt-in solution, eliminating the need to drill or tap the oil pan during installation.

This makes it particularly suitable for engine swaps and performance builds where a clean, straightforward installation is preferred.

6061 Aluminium & Stainless Steel Construction

Built for durability in demanding engine environments, the dipstick assembly features:

• 6061 aluminium construction

• Stainless steel dipstick tube

• Durable mounting hardware

• Replacement oil level sensor seal

The combination of aluminium and stainless steel provides a robust solution suitable for road, track and motorsport use.

Adjustable Oil Level

The kit is supplied preset to the factory oil level. After installation, the reading should be verified by accurately filling the engine with the required quantity of oil and adjusting the dipstick as necessary.

For vehicles subjected to hard track use, STROM recommends setting the oil level 1.5 litres above the factory specification.

Ideal for B48 & B58 Engine Swaps

A physical oil dipstick is particularly useful when installing a BMW B48 or B58 engine into another chassis, where the factory electronic oil-level monitoring system may not be retained or easily accessible.

The STROM Motorsports B48 / B58 Oil Level Dipstick V2 provides a straightforward mechanical solution, allowing the engine oil level to be physically checked during routine servicing, setup or track-day inspections.

Important Installation Information

This V2 kit eliminates the factory thermal oil level sensor.

After installation, accurately fill the engine with the required quantity of oil and verify the dipstick reading. Adjust the dipstick if necessary to ensure the indicated level corresponds with the actual quantity of oil in the engine.

For applications where retaining the original electronic oil level sensor is required, the STROM V1 dipstick kit may be a more suitable option.
