Oil consumption (N20 328i). - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

SomeRandomer123 · 08-07-2012, 05:36 AM

My 328i - zero! No oil used whatsoever! Looks like the 335i is open to a mighty swig of oil but 3500mls in and nothing has been used.

How about yours?

Looks OK.
7 K Miles done, and still at nearly 100 %. Much depends on brake-in driving style. It will be determining for life time mileage. (motor health)

6000 Kms , oil level still at max , provided that the electronic probe is accurate , not like the gas one !

Almost 10.000kms and still max according to the electronic probe.

By the way: 320i (N20).

How do you check the oil level?

Frogman · 09-29-2012, 06:17 PM

7300 miles and still at 100%.

SomeRandomer123 · 09-30-2012, 03:58 PM

7800mls - checked earlier and still 100% too!

armanm, Oil check through iDrive menu with motor running; after approx 1' minute the oil level will show up on screen
