Oil consumption E89 35i

impulsE89 · 03-06-2019, 08:44 AM

At 35000 miles my 35i burns zero oil. I checked to make sure the oil level did not include coolant contamination. I almost never rev near red-line because the response is so good well below that.
Just wondering if this is commonplace and normal.

I recall my oil had to be topped off somewhere near the 9k km range. now near 50k and haven't had a need for any oil top off. Not sure the reason for the top off at 9k
