I need to add a quart every 5000 miles or so.

Apparently, this is normal oil consumption. I think mine needed a quart after ~3000 miles. Just go to your dealer and they can top it off.

Perfectly normal.
Just FYI- On M cars BMW had a spec of 1 liter per 1000km.... (or 1 quart per ~600 miles) Top it off, BUT do not mix oils...if it has BMW oil in it, top with the same. A |

I had to mix oils since I was in Northern Michigan where thee were no BMW dealers. I'll have to take it in and have the dealer change the oil.

Lame BMW. My 2001 3.0 just did 5000 on an oil change. Didn't use a noticeable amount on the dipstick.
It has 350,000 miles. While that is within BMWs spec. No other manufacturer would allow that out of a brand ne vehicle. (Once past break in) IE again before the next service. Sent from my SGH-i917 using Board Express |

Incorrect. Ford, GM, Toyota, Audi all have the same guideline, for a start. Pretty sure it is much broader than those four.

Give it time for the engine to break in. My 35d used a quart of oil before the first oil change and again before the second oil change. I have not had to add any oil between changes since. Buy a quart of oil and keep in the X5 so you don't get caught away from the dealer again when you get a quart low again. That is what I did.
