I check the dipstick, I can obserb about 3mm oil over the maximum limit. The car is in 10,000Km now, I haven't add any oil since new. And very sure that never see this message before, the last time I check the vehicle status should be 3~4 months ago, no warning seen that time.
Goggle in the web show me with diesel leak to the oil sump which make me feel like crazy. This will cause the permanant damage to the vehicle !
Does any LCI diesel owner having the similar issue ? Will call BMW to book in a inspection tomorrow.
You need to sample your oil and send it off for analysis to check for fuel dilution. One of your injectors may be leaking into the sump. If you don't have to, don't drive it until the analysis comes back. If you must drive it, change the oil and filter just in case there is a leak. GL
