W213 - E220d

It has the electrical reading for the oil level check.

Does it have the traditional dipstick somewhere on the engine? Wanted to extract the oil via this method for a service.
 
I think the W213 has only a digital dipstick which you can view on your dashboard. It can sometimes be slightly off however if the oil gets low it will tell you to add x number of liters in.

My 213 is the E400d and I usually need to top up 1 litre every 5 to 7k miles depending on how I drive.
 
We are used to missing dipsticks but the fact that even the dipstick tube is missing, is a bit of an overkill in savings. WIS instructions to the workshops are to drain oil from the plug, the old and dirty way.
