jmh, I think you may be on to something. During my ED, Grossglockner pass was one of the Alps passes I went through. Although I had kept a quart of BMW 0W-40 oil that I bought at the BMW Weld anticipating to receive some warning/notice by the car to top off the oil (per postings in this forum), that never happened up to the time I had to leave the car in Nice (odometer reading was 2200 miles) for shipment to the U.S. to the Performance Center in Greenville SC.
I did not have the break-in service done in Europe so I am sure, BMW did it upon receipt of the car in the U.S where probably they did an oil change. I took delivery of the car in SC in December and have been driving the car ever since. So far, I have 3500 miles on it and have not had any notice to add any oil. I think it is because I went through the Grossglockner pass, what do you guys think, he he?
It would be nice to hear from other people who did ED and passed through Grossglockner and have not had any notice to add oil.
