Is 68mm of oil ok???! (1C4119 and 201004)

Hi

Due to vacation and what not I cannot get the oil level sensor replaced (everything is closed in China during new year).

So simple question:
How much does the 68mm with running engine compare to in terms of min <-> max? Should I add an extra quart before driving the 500 miles back home again? Is there a kind soul out there with his oil level at max that could check what this equals to in ISTA?

I suspect the iDrive measurement does not work because the temperature part of the oil level sensor does not work. Testing the actual oil temp sensor all looks good.

FWIW, 75mm in my LCI 328d.
