OlL LEVEL--NO CHANGE IN 1.5 mos, 3000mi--WTF?? Should I be concerned??

...Just checked my oil level--I changed it a month and a half ago, 3k miles, 8 quarts....No change in dipstick level since--I thought all Beemers burned oil?? Should I be concerned, or did I just get lucky?? Opinions welcomed.....

I have about 85,000 miles on my 2001 X5 and haven't burned a drop yet. Some do, but many don't. Looks like you got a keeper

MDK: Don't be bringing your good fortune and, your "lucky anomaly X", up here on the X5 board!

Go find a solid piece of wood and give it a hard knock, man!

3K miles w/out a drop of oil consumed?! Sounds like my m'cycles...er, the Honda ones, that is.
