[QUOTE="eg3616, post: 336486, member: 16122"] I was talking with people in other authorized services centre and I was surprise what they said. It seems that engines under this model and year are known to have problem. It's normal to top up in the first 30000km but not after that. If the problem is persistent, this might be caused by sludge accumulation. This sludge normally not drained during oil flush. When new oil is added, the oil mix with the sludged inducing more wear and tear to the engine. This effect is amplified forthe fact that the engine alloy is not the same as in previous engine type. This sort of problem seem to be occuring with consistent frequency for car sold in Malaysia and middle east market. There are case where BMW has to change the whole engine. it's worrying man...sometime I think ignorance is bliss, but can't afford it. [/QUOTE]
