MikeO:
BMW motors don't suck, but many consume some oil and coolant;
nature of the beast. Some rave about zero oil consumption, but
most admit to loss higher than most "regular" cars.
Highway speeds use more, in my experience.
Stlr is not screwing with you; that's the "tolerances" they have
to go by, in terms of "normal" usage.
I use and have consumed, a qt every 1000-1200 miles since day one,
4 1/2 yrs and 55,000 miles ago. It does not help my situ that my '01 is
a 5 spd manual with the correspondingly high rpms at cruise speed.
The rest of my stable consumes oil by the pint, combined total, per year:
2 other cars and 4 motorcyles...your X is what it is and I wouldn't worry.
5 bucks every 1200 miles is the deal.
GL and welcome to DaBoard.
