None in 5.000 miles, but new Bimmers vary in that regard. I had an M-Roadster new in '99 that used a few quarts before it settled down and stopped using altogether after about 10K. So i wouldn't be overly concerned quite yet.

I've never seen any evidence of leaking. I drive reasonably hard from time to time, but not abusively so. It's mostly having fun when I'm first in light at a stop light, or when my daughter says "go fast, Daddy!" going up the hill on the way to her school. 
Fortunately, I bought 2 quarts the first time & left the 2nd in my trunk, but now I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't just always have a quart with me.
What have your experiences been? At what point should I be concerned? |
