Oil use M5 E60
Discussion
Hi All
Strange issue to report on my E60 M5
Had an oil change at 68000 miles - the dealer slightly over filled but nothing to worry about. The oil level on the dash was at 1.5L
After 600 miles, this dropped down to 1.1L as I would expect
However since then the level has stayed at 1.1 and I have done a further 2000 miles since - no change to oil level
I have reset with the car standing flat but still it shows 1.1L. I would expect the oil level to have fallen after another 200 miles?
I am worried I may have a faulty sensor.....of course lack of dipstick means I cannot check level
If the oil gets too low, will it sound an alarm, even if sensor for dash monitor is caput?
Thanks for your help
Simon
PS - engine is a brand new unit @ 66,000 miles
