wait........so you turn the motor off and the oil light comes on? i dont know of any vehicle that that doesnt happen.
its a pressure sensor. motor not spinning, no oil pressure, light is on. should be on before you start the motor too.

Add oil (very very soon!). Any top line synthetic will be OK. Use oil with the same ratings as that already in use.

I when you get the oil warning when you turn off the car that is telling you to add 1 quart to the motor. If you were to look in you iDrive under car data you will see exactly what it means. I have a e60 that was doing the same thing and after I added the quart it went away immediately. As far as the type of oil to add make sure it's Full synthetic oil Castrol or Mobile 1 should do the trick, if you still have that extra quart in you trunk just add that.
