May be something in the build

I know we all like to blame the owner or break-in procedures. but I had a friend who had a 1M coupe and it was going thru oil at a crazy pace. Eventually BMW had them do some tests. In the end they discovered the engine was build missing some of the rings on the pistons. He got a new Engine and extended warrantee.

While these things are built well, rare and strange things do happen from the factory. Watch the consumptions and keep on the dealer. My Z4 and 335i, and 135i didn't use more than 1/2 quart during breaking and little to no oil consumption today.
