Do you own a BMW? Better carry a case of oil in your trunk

I have a BMW 650 I 22500 has consistantly needed one quart of oil every 700/850 miles My warentee expires in 5 days. Any thoughts Thanks Chuck

It is really mostly very difficult to observe well-aware person on this spot, but you find as as you fully understand the points you're speaking about! Take care

I bought a 2015 x5 from Bavaria bmw in Edmonton Alberta worst decision I have ever made. Burns excessive oil and they don’t want to fix it unless I jump threw some hoops I have been there more than 3 times for the same problem they just write it down and tell me to come back if it happens again or when it’s time to do an oil change . BMW YOUR TRASH I WILL NEVER BUY A VEHICLE FROM YOU AGAIN !!!

Hello, I'm the owner of a 2011 7 series. With only 69k miles on her. As you can tell I don't travel far but I am still adding an extra quart of synthetic oil every two weeks. I don't notice any leaking or smoking. Why is she doing this?

I have a 2015 BMW X5 V8 twin turbo and it has been using OVER 6 quarts of oil between oil changes which is 10,000. The dealership is Rick-Hill Imports and they claim that the oil consumption is not excessive but admit there is a problem otherwise they never would have torn the engine down to replace the valve seals to try and fix it but that did nothing to help the problem. Now they are doing nothing at all hoping that the problem will go away on its own. You can't tell me that an engine burning that much oil isn't a problem and isn't going to have many more problems later on in its life.

I have a 2011 BMW 750Li and drove over 4,000 without using up a drop of oil. I'm now up to 5,500 miles between changes and finally had to add some oil recently, around 12 ounces total. Odometer sitting on 50,100 miles. I'm using Castrol European version full synthetic. Not sure why it's burning oil now. After driving and car is in the garage, I pick up a faint smell of what I think is burning oil and thinking valve cover gaskets might be leaking. At 44,640 miles, they needed to change both hoses to the twin turbos. My understanding is that the N63 engine is affectionately nicknamed "the incinerator". Now that I'm over 50,000 miles, I'm waiting for the house of cards to collapse and I end up with a major repair bill.

If it makes any of you feel any better my 2004 X5 3.0 has 207k miles on it and has used a ton of oil during its lifetime. Early on it burned about 1 quart every 2,500 miles and now it burns about 1 per 1,000. However, it runs strong and has never had any oil related engine problems.

BMW oil consumption is a real bad cost. i should have stuck with my Toyota cars if i had known of this oil burning engines before due date for oil change

I own a 2012 550 Grand TourIsmo that I bought with 55k miles about 2 1\2 years ago. It has consistently burned a quart of oil every 600-700 miles. I took it in to BMW dealer and they told me it was normal for that engine (400 HP V-8)). When oil consumption became every 500 miles, I again took it in and they told me there was a recall and the cost of the $2000 -$4000 fix was prorated for mileage. In my case with 96000 miles they would pay 40% of the cost Beyond 100K miles, they pay nothing. The service manager told me to put TWO quarts of oil in and it would likely go 1500 miles before needing more oil. Car runs great and no smell of burnt oil, but not normal to have to carry a supply of oil around in my trunk! Still !I've the car.

I've seen several people have their valve seals replaced in order to cut this down. Which on this engine costs between $7,000 and $9,000 if you are outside of warranty. It's not cost effective as a quart of oil per month isn't going to cost anywhere near that, but as someone else indicated here.. If there is oil leaking somewhere in the engine and it is not on your driveway then it's being burned internally somewhere and burning oil leaves a nasty buildup behind that's bound to choke an engine to death eventually.

BMW burning oil like a 500 dollar jalopy , wow !
Who would be STUPID enough to buy one ?

as i have 2014 328i bmw xdrive it consume engine oil and pop up the notification to add oil after 1500 approximately is it still good to add oil, or need repair reply me if someone know anything. it has low kilometer on this so that why m worried about it. or this thing is normal for bmw to add engine oil.

but it arrives its agreeableness Scares during storyboard and in the comparable or

I bought my 2013 x5 v8 400hp new and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve only had to change out some sort of hose that was leaking oil at 80k ($500)...there were two of them where the attachments were broken or about to break. I’ve forgotten what they’re called.
My guy is a BMW specialist (the insane kind like Jerry’s mechanic w/Saab on Seinfeld) who loves “test driving” my car. We’ve always been a bmw family so he’s secretly in love with me as I own 11 bmw’s, now.
I have to add a quart every other week with my x5...I couldn’t care less about it. Who cares if you have to add oil.
Cars have been troubled since they were invented. But it’s a lot better than riding around in a carriage.

I have a 2011 328i Xdrive 2D and I have to add oil every 2k or so. About every 3 weeks it needs a quart. Never seen any spots or smelled anything. A quart of oil seems to be a good spend to keep it running good.

Same problem for me
2009 X3 2.5 si and oil consumption One quart on every 4000 km

I have a 2009 BMW 528 xI with 109k miles and was told it's buring oil. Got an oil change and less than a month later had to put oil in. Why is this happening to so many people with BMW? I'm barely over 100 k miles and was told to sell ASAP. I guess this Is an ongoing problem. Such an expensive car and seems like so many people have the same issues. Sad
