While I do not have a CX, I have had several cars with an in-car oil level check. I found that having the car running never showed the oil level. As mentioned before the engine must be at operating temperature, and for my car at least, I had to turn off the engine, wait a few mins and then turn on the accessory power to check. It would never tell me the level with the engine running.

You mentioned that it's showing 5/4 for oil level. Is there a chance it's been overfilled and the computer doesn't know what to do with that? Did you add oil since getting the car?

I did a quick google search for the BMW Z4 owners manual as I believe much of the electronics is shared. It states the car must be driven for at least 30 mins before you can check the oil level.

Hope this helps,

P
