Just to note, it had poped up prior to my ever more frequent visit to the dealer. I had expressed my concern that even though the last oil change was less than 7000 miles ago, why is it signaling to check the oil? He said that it is normal for a car to burn oil..... back of my mind i'm thinking what a load of crock. Yea, some cars burn oil, true, but how does it go from burning zilch one year to burning off 10 to 20%? Even then, it's not like it's really old. Car now has 95k miles on it. I would be severly devistated if it came out that my head gasket is leaking or some shit like that. This is, as I've mentioned in other words, a black mark on BMW's autos in my mind, making me rethink purchasing a new one. If they were more passive on the $100++/hr they charge me for work on the car, I wouldn't be so hessitent to bring the car in.

Acutally....

We have customers who have brand new cars....2005s/2006s that come in telling us that their car needs oil. We give them 1 quart, and they're out the door.

So, I'm not suprised that your car with 95K miles is doing just the same. 1 quart of oil and you're good to go.
