E90 325i Oil Conumption
Discussion
Afternoon,
Hope somebody can help, my E90 325i told me this morning it was low on oil, it is showing on the dash display as being on the min and needing 1 litre.
TBH I haven't checked as I have only had the car 2.5 months and have only covered about 2500 miles since I picked it up from the BMW dealer.
I checked it at the time of pickup and it was full.
Is this a concern, past cars I have had have used oil but I didn't expect this one to, BMW seem to think it's normal, is this right?
Cheers

I think BMW said on the E46 6 cylinders that up to 1 litre per 1500 miles was acceptable?
The difference between Max and Min on the dipstick is typically one litre, so unless things have changed on the newer engines I would say it was ok?

Some reps doing 35 - 40k per annum must be topping up fairly regularly!!

And BMW tolerances are more like 1L per 750 miles.
