Stop a Lexus owner on the street some day and ask them if they have ever checked their oil with the dipstick.....(rumor has it in the new LS you can do it without)....

I agree with you Doug. A Lexus owner won't miss it, most are simply not enthusiasts. BMW has a much higher enthusiast ratio, thus they would want a dipstick.

To me, its just trying to delay the inevitable. Computers doing everything in the car.

My point exactly. That dipstick was brought back for a reason. Computers are not the answer to everything.
