[QUOTE="KL2DC, post: 200542, member: 3452"] Be careful, I'd check the oil sensors first. You might be overfilling. I've seen accounts of a few E90 owners who are registering frequent low oil warnings. The problem was traced back to the sensors. The problem with having no dipsticks is there is no way to visibly verify this. Your oil consumption is definitely irregular. My N52B30 engine consumed 2 to 2.5 quarts within its first 13,500 miles (my first oil service was at this mileage - blame city driving) Btw minimum level means you're only down a quart, but again within 2 months is ridiculous. Your SA is BSing you, the magnesium block still have aluminum liners. Never heard of evaporation through magenesium. Its not unusual for the engine to consume some oil (varying amounts, depends) during the break-in period. I hope you're not paying for your topups... [/QUOTE]
