Keep asking for More Oil
Hello All F10M5 Owners
Does your M keep asking for more oil added every 1k miles? Mine does is this normal. I talk to my service advisor and he said that BMW said it is normal to add oil every 800 miles to the car |

mine needs 1 litre for every 700 miles (majority of time) ... consistently for 2 years now.
lowest consumption of oil - 1 litre @ 1,000 miles highest " " - 1 litre @ 500 miles |

My car is at 16k miles and I have yet to add oil. I strongly believe break in plays a big role in oil consumption.

My LCI has covered 10K miles NO Oil used at all. I did the 40 miles or so hard brake-in once Oil was hot, never used a drop of Oil.

Seat those rings early or they never seal properly. Thats why your Oil is being burned.

I use a liter of oil, every 800 to 1500km normally. But then at 8800km I added another and drove long stretches (300+ km per leg) of just highways and mountain highways, I'm now at 11100km and it almost hasn't used a drop. And I pushed her very hard up some mountain roads doing speeds almost no car should be able to do going up hill !!
So that leads me to believe that our cars dislike city stop and go traffic but love highways, or that it hates bursts of acceleration compared to hard and prolonged acceleration.

5K miles no additional oil required. Break in was completed almost 100% non-highway driving. After car was properly warmed up did not usually pay attention to rpms.
If needed what is the required oil that needs to be used? |

I hear this all the time. But I have not added a drop and checked last week my engine level it said it was fine!. I have 5500 miles and I did the break-in service already.
