Well I have this great new mod... it reduces my annual mileage...

I drop X5d off to dealer.. and the dealer give me a loaner and they keep my SUV for weeks yes WEEKS...... I never hear anything, I don't bother them about it because I do not care.

During this current go, I have logged 1200 miles on the loaner (3 weeks).

Previously to this visit, I dropped X5 off, dealer had it for a month, confirmed engine was consuming too much oil and started a "1000 Mile Oil Consumption test", and like magic, as I refueled at 1009 miles, the Test completed and two codes appeared.

Frankly I am of the opinion that US dealerships have NO clue how to work on the diesel engines/Emission systems, Lack of training and general low brow-ish not giving a two craps.
