I just got this too at 10k. First time since 1200 miles the oil has been touched.
I broke it in hard and drive it hard in the city. I expected some oil burning but it went from max to below min in one drive. I checked for leaks and did not see any. I was parked on a slight decline, maybe 3-5*, but then moved it around, drove, started it up and checked multiple times on flat surfaces and it was too low. I added 1 full quart and it is back to max. Possible a level sensor issue? Or is everyone just burning oil in these things? |

Just changed the oil at 14,500 miles and it had only gone halfway down the gauge since the 1,200 mile change which I was pretty happy with after having to put a litre of oil in my previous 135i and Z4 between services.

I went into my local dealer yesterday to pick up a couple of quarts of 5w30. I told the parts desk person I needed oil for my 1 Series M Coupe and she brought me the oil for the M3. Fortunately I was prepared for this.

Add Liqui Moly 5w-30 as well, switched over from being a LONG time castrol and Mobil 1 user, I will never buy anything else unless I am in a bind!
