Problem with engine oil consumption; on April 2007 -mileage 8936 warning -low oil-ad 1.5Q. On 29 May 2007-warn low oil- ad 1.5Q oil. On Aug 2007-warn low oil-ad 1.5 Q oil on Dec 2007-warn low oil-added 2.5 Q oil Sept 30 2008-warn low oil-added 1 Q oil at loc dealership. This is not a normal oil consumption of the high end vehicle BMW series 7 or any other high end vehicle. So far I have not been given a reasonable explanation. Dealer ship (peake BMW) is advising that no oil leaks noted and oil not coming out trough the tail pipe " so what is going on" can someone at bwm recognize and acknowledge this problem or do I have to go back and contact BMW in germany and ask for their assistance. I have had and still do ( mb S500, BMW 535I etc.) and never had any problem like this. Have other vehicles and trucks and never had to add any oil in between the services. This is embarrassing, driving $85K vehicle and have to stop at the gas station to fill up some oil "?"
