[QUOTE="E34EuroTouring, post: 201637, member: 1026"] Consuming engine oil. Yes, Vanos engines do consume engine oil and so does poor valve seals. If there is no certain increase in fuel consumption, engine is mostly ok. You might consider Castrol RS engine oil, it cost more but lasts and lasts. A couple of quarts for 10K km is normal. More city driving consumes more. Good luck and check the oil levels every month please. Do not over-fill. Keep level just slightly below the Top level marker, you should be OK. ;) [/QUOTE]
