And the same for the guys that have a lot of consumption of oil?

It'd be interesting to see if there's a pattern.
NO Oil used in 2800 miles, ran the car in by the book.

3k the warning came up to add a qt, every loose high hp motor has been the same for me, they burn oil (my 89 mustang 5.0 did the same thing) as long as she is not leaking oil I'm fine with it, if you want the perfect car buy a matchbox, hey Bin Ladens dead.

Still Burning

My 550i has had a quart of oil added 3 times now with just under 4800 miles. No other issues the car is beyond perfect!!

I wanted to bump this thread to see if the people who were consuming oil almost a year ago at the beginning of this thread could post up if It's gone away or if it's still chugging it down. Mine has 10,000 miles and it's burned 3 qts and frankly I find it irritating.

I now do keep and extra quart in my trunk precisely because it burns so much oil.
