im fine with it..just wanted to know if it was a problem or something common. Im assuming b/c its turbo and i do drive it hard on occassion that it is normal...i will have to see how it goes now that its topped off.
I just think the car is overly sensitive so even if the oil is a bit lower than normal it tells u..whereas my other car u just look at the dipstick but as long as its within max and min u dont really care.
Ya it was bought at autowest, i got it serviced at the bmw store since ive heard nothing but bad things about the servicing at autowest.

audi's the worst.
ask any 2.0 FSI owner, especially the old ladies who drive them.
even the old 2.0L NA ones were bad. iuno why any engine should burn oil. sure it's common, but i don't think it's normal.

NORMAL. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise
If it's a new engine, parts are wearing together and seating to form a perfect fit...they're still 'virgin' parts getting used to fitting together. Engine components, piston rings, gearbox, wheelbearings, clutch disc, brake pads, everything needs to be worn in.
I hear nightmare stories from car technicians of people who never check their oil thinking 'ohh it's a new car' and how it should consume ZERO oil, and go on to run their engine to the grave before their first scheduled oil change even happens

reciprocating engines are inherently not completely oil sealed. Remember that kids!

100% normal. If you didn't get that bottle of oil at delivery, go to Autowest and have it topped up for free.

Even with the M motors you need to top the oil up every 2000 km

personally i'd run a higher viscosity oil in somethign that's turbocharged. like a 5w40/50 or 10w40
but i guess BMW knows best.
