Pull the belly pan off and see if there's oil in it...
Did you have your oil changed recently? Check to make sure the drain plug is tight and that no oil is leaking from the filter. BTW - Mine stays parked most of the summer while I drive the M3. I haven't had any oil leak problems.

Did you just have your car serviced (recently)
about 2 weeks after my wife's A4 was serviced at 5000 she noticed drops of oil in the driveway.
next time in for another problem, I mentioned this, and found that during the service when the filter is changed some oil gets into a trough in the chassis and if not cleaned out by spraying brake clean, can spread all over the belly pan.
real mess to clean up, but that was the problem.
Just trying to help\
