glad to hear everything worked out. if this happens again, since you have such low mileage, make sure your SA puts that information in your file and and have them look into it. if later out of warranty something happens then you have the documentation that you had tried to correct the problem while in warranty. so they should cover the problem. glad that was easy!

If your driving style is very aggressive you might expect some oil consumption between scheduled (condition-based service) maintenance.
My 550 drinks a quart of oil every 3-5k miles. First car that did that. But I rev my engine a lot harder than I did in my prior cars.

Get the ACS spoiler. I have the same. It is a lot better than the M5 one. the M5 little lip is like a twizzler and is not worth the $ or gives any dramatic look. The ACS is still a classy/sporty look. You MUST get a M5 trunk finisher with it cause it completes the look.

My car takes a quart every 7.5k miles - don't trust the idiot drive, so glad the e60 v-8's still have a dipstick.
