How do I check the oil level on a BMW M1?

I just purchased a used BMW M1 and want to make sure the oil level is good before taking it for a drive. What is the proper procedure for checking the oil level and how often should I do it?

First, make sure your car is parked on a level surface and the engine is off for at least 10 minutes. Locate the oil dipstick, usually located near the engine. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean with a paper towel, and then reinsert it. Pull it out again and check the oil level against the markers. The oil level should be between the minimum and maximum markers. If it is low, add the recommended type of oil.

It is important to check your oil level regularly, especially if you are driving a sporty car like the BMW M1. I recommend checking it every other time you fill up your gas tank. This will ensure that your engine is properly lubricated and can prevent any potential damage.
