Hi guys
So today the on board gadgetry informed me I needed to top up with oil, and a full 1 liter at that (onboard measurement indicated it was at the min level). Seemed a bit strange to me, as I've never had to top up any vehicle, unless there was something amiss. A quick google search and read through a bimmerpost thread seemed to suggest this is normal for the N55 engine, but I'm still not convinced. Any other fanatics here experienced similar oil consumption on their N55 engines, and is this normal?
No detectable leaks, mileage is around 40k and next service due in 2k, if this helps.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Cheers
Bernard
