Put in a high octane non ethanol blend gas today along with a fuel system treatment product added some engine seal rejuvenate and topped off the engine oil. I was wondering how quickly you other guys eat through motor oil. I've run around 3500-3800 miles and my engine oil level went from about 15/16 full to a little over a 1/4 from the bottom ok line. Eventually I'd like to do some kind of catch can setup for blow by. And here in the next two weeks it's going back in the shop for the drill rotor upgrade/oil/trans/diff change. I went ahead and ordered those bcm filters, I'm going to give them a shot.
Can you guys give me any other advice on maintenance areas I should look at to keep her happy? Cheers and happy new year |

I haven't checked the oil pan gasket but it's definitely going to be something I look at...I definitely don't have any residual oil on the ground when parked and no smoking even under hard acceleration in "m" mode or regular mode. I was under the impression these motors ate some oil? thanks for the information |

My oil line never moves ... it has only once when I was pushing the truck extremely hard for a considerable amount of time, otherwise I don't lose any. |

Pulled this from another post on the topic:
This taken from BMW Operating Fluids Manual: Oil Consumption All engines normally consume a certain amount of oil. This is necessary in order to properly lubricate the cylinder walls, pistons, piston rings etc. In addition, engines with less than 6,000 miles will generally consume additional oil because the components are not fully seated. Therefore, oil consumption complaints received prior to 6,000 miles cannot be considered. Once a new or rebuilt engine has accumulated 6,000 miles this procedure should be used if there is a drastic change in the oil consumption rate (i.e. the oil consumption rate triples) under similar driving conditions or if the oil consumption rate exceeds 1 qt. per 750 miles at any time. Refer to S.I. Bulletin B 11 05 84 (888). All Motorsport Engines: Due to their increased output and maximum engine speeds, these engines are allowed a maximum consumption of 2.5 quarts per 1,000 miles. |

Well more bad news...switched over to a TurnerMotorsports 15mm spacer in the front and it didn't work either unfortunately. So, I've contacted ECS and they are sending me a 12.5mm ECS brand spacer made specifically for the front hub on the e70 x5m and whatever it takes I'm going to make them work lol. This is driving me crazy
