As I recall, the oil pressure gauge on the early 129s is like the one in my 140 - it includes a light, which should come on when the pressure falls below a safe level. The handbook says nothing of a minumum pressure which should be shown on the gauge.

The oil pressure gauge in my 126 on the other hand does not have the light and, indeed, the handbook indicates that 0,3 bar is still safe at idle.

The oil level light has, as you wrote, nothing to do with pressure.
