My 2012 X5 50i had an oil change in August and I've added a quart of oil twice having put on less than 2500 miles since. Prettying annoying, but I can handle keeping a couple extra quarts in the trunk. Mine is actually going in tomorrow for a long list of little issues, I'll ask about the turbos. I'd never advise anyone to buy a BMW for its reliability, only for the enjoyment of driving it.

When I say bad mpg, I mean 6 city 10-12 highway. Mine has been a nightmare. It's also serves as a smoke machine for anyone interested in having one for their next party. It's in the process of getting bought back by bmwusa. I've had it with BMW. The only car I never had an issues with was surprisingly my e92 m3.
