x 3 is High Consumption

[Rick in Prescott]

No one speaks of harm to your engine and no one doubts that BMW engines are engineering masterpieces meant to be driven. You original post had such little info in it that I'm still suprised it went on for this long. Your concern was for gas "consumption" We understand you have a 6 speed, that's not your problem. Keep your foot out of it and watch you consumption go way down, that's your problem. Going "low" is better for mileage going fast is better for fun. Lastly, I don't know why "BMW gives you 25,000 km for the first oil change". I change mine at much sooner than that.
Ok now, I have to go watch the grass grow.
