The X is the only car that I've taken to the dealer as i bought it almost brand new (1 year old) and had warranty, in addition to lack of experience with the oil consuming engine.

All my other bmw:s never consumed oil...at least not enough up bring up a warning on the dash. So i changed oil myself, making sure engine is somewhat warm when emptying the oil but when its time to fill up again the engine is cold....so i fill up with 90% of recommended amount, start engine for a few minutes then check the level and top up as needed. Never had an issue this way.

I've now given up on the dealer for obvious reasons, this forum provides more knowledge and support thanks to people like You! At least now I have more argue power should the indy attempt to take me for a ride!

Sorry for diluting this thread.
