Oil Dipstick Replacment for a 2013 Mini Cooper S Convertible

I have been having a rough time reading the oil level on the factory dipstick and would like to see what options are avaialble for a clear, flatblade, dipstick.

This is important as my car has been burning oil/oil is being deposited within the boost pipes so I am seeing smoke from my exhaust intermittently. I need to check my oil atleast once a week to make sure I have suffifient oil without eyeballing it and/or guessing.

Thank you for your assistance.

I found this universal dipstick that is at O'Reily Auto Parts that was recommended by my mechanic.

Hello,

https://www.ecstuning.com/b-bremmen-...437585970~brp/

We have this and its an easy stick to read. Has little cross drilled holes also making it easy to tell the level.
