It looks to be just above the middle of the "good" range, also it always has full pressure, I have only seen it drop down once or twice in my 4 days of driving the car, and even then it only dropped down to about 40psi or so. Would a dipstick from a '79 240D be the same length so I could compare them, I'm thinking it maybe could have been replaced at some point with one that was too long.
