check the connection of the oil pressure sender (on the side of the head, near the firewall, intake side). A new sensor is cheap (~$5) and you might want to grab a spare just in case.

I had the same problem on the wife's '91 535i after I reinstalled the head after a rebuild- but the sensor was leaking. The problem was- I forgot to remove the sensor from the head when I sent it to the machine shop- I think the sensor got damaged when the head was cleaned in the "hot tank", and it started leaking.
