Oil consumption - N63 and S63 both the same issues?

[LennyBoy1]

Thanks again for the advice. I am checking with the BMW Dealership to see what Maintenance was completed and hopefully the CCP (soft recall) was completed previously.

As far as wrenching on my own vehicles…I currently complete all maintenance and repairs such as starter replacement, spark plugs, valve cover gaskets, radiator, oil turbo lines, etc - all fairly basic stuff. However I haven’t attempted a much more complicated project as a valve stem seal replacement.

As you mentioned above, I had also researched the same product…Forte Lubricants Seal Conditioner. Seems to have good reviews and might delay the VSS replacement for a couple years.

I haven’t purchased a 50i yet, still gathering maintenance history, etc.

Thanks for the information.
