don't know about that on 850's, but i had the same sort of thing on my D5. I snapped the dipstick handle when changing my intercooler, went to the dealer & as you say they told me the tube & dipstick had changed, so bought both only to find the tube was identicle & the dipstick fit into the old tube fine

Yeah brilliant time as always mate. I'll be going back again next year again for sure. I did get a picture of you going round from the view point in Adenau, i'll post it up later.
First time in 8 trips that I've been round the ring in the wet, and it is a seriously slippery beast, as I found out :yikes:
The new style dip stick and tube is around £35 from the dealer IIRC.
