What does it mean when oil light comes on?

The oil light of an E-46 can actually indicate 2 totally different situations. If your light is amber you are low on oil. Check your dipstick and add the appropriate amount. Most of the E-46 owners I have talked to tell me this usually happens when starting or stopping the engine (this has also been my experience). If your light is RED you need to stop ASAP this indicates that you have lost all oil pressure. On the outside chance that you have just changed your oil there is a possibility that you have fried your sensor. Was the radio playing while you were changing the oil?
