Oil level

My 2010 23i shows the oil level in the center of the scale. Should I add oil?

Full scale from low to high or when it says 'add oil' is normally 1 litre.

The advice from BMW is to wait tlll its on low or advises you to top up.

They are very concerned about overfilling it.

Having said that I carry a 500 ml bottle of oil in the car and then add most of it when the oil level is indicating half.

Not sure on the 23i but on the N20 and N54 the oil level can move over the first 45 minutes of driving one or two 'clicks' so i would evaluate the level before and after topping up a few times before choosing to add anymore.
