Hello,
I just bought BMW X5 F15 3.0 diesel, 130k km mileage. I drove over 1k km already. When I decided to check the level of AdBlue I found that there is no AdBlue level menu item in Vehicle Info. I tried to connect ELM and found that NOx sensor shows 65535 ppm - it's maximum value.

Previous owner said that he hasn't removed that system and that once he got notification to add AdBlue. So, I am in doubt whether my BMW still has this system, or it was entirely removed before me.

How can I determine if that system still here and why I don't have AdBlue in vehicle info?

I will really appreciate if if if you can share any thoughts about that.

there is a reservoir where to fill this fluid. Can I visually see if this system is removed or not without disassembling anything?

I read that it's possible to add it, but in the article where I saw it - they are describing how to enable it. Menu appeared, but level was not shown

Finally I found that system works, level is missing in menu, but when it’s time to add - it start showing message that car will stop running in ~1600 km

Garage List
I’ve only seen it in pictures. My 2014 does not have the menu for it on idrive.

I would just fill it every oil change. 🤷🏽

SCR_ANZEIGE enables the display
SCR_ANZEIGE_NEU is another option but does not seem to have any affect. Unsure if the actual level is being read, it gives a range but that's it.
