I will check it cold tonight as the car has been sitting in the garage for 2 days.

And I was checking the level with the car sitting in the garage, which is flat so there couldn't be any incline issue. It was around 55 degrees when I changed the oil so I doubt I left much in the container on the pour.

It is just weird because I never had this issue with either of my E46 M3s.

One other questions - I am not the original owner of the car - is there any aftermarket way to increase oil capacity?? The car has a lot of mods on it but other than the Dinan throttle bodies, Dinan software and a J&B liteweight flywheel, I haven't found any other engine mods, mostly only chassis/diff stuff.
