excessive oil consumption
i have owned my 2014 56k mileage M5 for 2 months now i have done approx 1k mile and probably had to top up the oil 3 or 4 time approx 1.5litres or more in that time. i have 1 month remianing on the 3 month warranty , but i am really worried about the oil usage and cant be arsed with dealer questions and back and forth with them over warranties and the hassle of being in and out a garage for them to perhaps not find anything as i know these things do use abit of oil just seems abit high IMO.,.....thoughts?

TBH if you still have warranty I would be making use of it and speaking with the dealership, if there is something wrong you'll probably regret not making use of the warranty.
From what I remember from readings on this before my purchase BMW state anything up to 1L/1K miles is acceptable though I personally wouldnt be happy with that sort of oil usage. Sounds like yours is using more than that. I think its related to how the car was driven early in its life though I dont know the details. My personal experience is that my car uses about 1L every 6-8k miles. |

If one is using a 30 weight, switching to a 40 is also not a bad idea. I saw my own consumption improve doing this, and it's better protection to boot.
