    B34 users....What oil dipstick did you use?

    I know this is a n00bish question coming from somebody who has done the swap+more but from day one using the e34 dipstick i notice it will never read right and always looks like its over filled when ever i do a fresh oil change or try to check the level. Im thinking the tubes on the b34 and b35 could possibly be different. I lost my original stick so i'll have to track one down, but guys who have b34 what stick are you currently using?

      Stock B34 looks like the right stick.

          With a b34 engine, but a b35 pan, the b34 dipstick will still read correctly, right?
