i hv similar problem. I regard this is a problem and annoying. Such high performing car required engine oil top up after 5~6k km - it is a out dated technology .. to me.
I suggest you lodge a report to BMW HQ, i am doing it as well.

what about recon car??? I just got mine for one week... still haven't tested yet...
Anyway, I have been told that there is no dip stick for the new N52 engine... is that true??? I have to send the car to be checked through its ECU to know the level of the engine oil... it's almost 1000km already and I want to take it back to the dealer's authorised mechanic to determine if the engine is problematic or not...
Sifu... anything at all will be appreciated!

I did exactly what you said... what even though it stated that "Engine oil level OK"
I still don't understand... because it didn't state the consumption level... and I don't understand what the green indicator at the bottom of Engine icon means... can you or anybody help me on this???

Bro, valve seal leaking will result white smoke from the tail pipe.. and only happen to more than 7 years old car. The oil burn discussed here is no white smoke symptom, and brand new car with warranty..
Update - Run in for 3000km and no sign of "missing" engine oil after the transplant. Just wanna ask bro out there whoever ever did the paperwork for diff engine number. I sent my car to Puspakom Bukit Maluri last week and they cant even find the wngine number. I rang AB and was told need to remove all the plastic engine cover in order to see the engine number. Puspakom was not keen to remove the engine cover and ask me to go back after removing the cover. And also the windscreen tinting did not pass the test and have to take off. zzzz....my huper optik just gone like tat.....nowadays can kau tim?? Just the tinting part. Its not so dark anyway....maybe certain angles are but anyway its only 40% visible according to the reader device and the passing rate is at least 60% visible. Advice anyone? I dun wanna rip my huper optik off just like tat....very expensive la...

dmens...
for the tinting...even if it does not look so dark but when two transparent mediums is put together with different refraction index, the visible-light will be deflected and this caused less light to be measured by the light intensity meter...
nowadays afta the puspakom scandal their cannot be 'kaotim' liau...

Hi Guys,
I am following up on my post earlier. Sorry that I have not been checking back after the engine block transplant. AB Segambut has finally completed the engine block transplant process back in July 2008. Engine has been running smoothly since then without needing an engine oil top up (previously, one was required every 3 months or so).
No paperwork was required for mine according to AB as it apparently does not affect the engine registration number. All the best to the rest who has to go thru this process. Be firm with them and bug them constantly once your car is in the workshop!

well, I couldn't agree more with what keeekeee said... my headlights do have fog once it rains... I don't know why but it will disappear after a while... what is the problem???
But then... my E60 Japan spec has no problem with the engine oil so far... been running for about 10k now... lucky me!!! I guess E60MSport is right... there's problem with CKD cars instead of CBU... which leads to the conclusion that our Malaysian assembly standard sucks man!!! :top:
How can we say Malaysia Boleh at this point???
