Oil capacity for 335d

[iMungo]

Hi all

I did a search but to no avail.. Does anyone know how much oil a 335d (or 535d) takes. Mine has just had its 1st service and BMW charged me for 8 litres which seemed a lot and the oil level on dip stick is about 0.5 cm over the max mark (I measured it as per the hand book - flat level surface, engine off from warm, wait 5 mins). Will too much oil damage the engine? The owners manual says take it straight to the dealer if its been overfilled.

Any insight would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Thanks Neil, appreciated. VBines Redhill told me 7.5 litres and there will be no issue with overfilling - I only hope they weren't just trying to get me off the phone..
