I was wondering why there may come a time when the smarty asks to add a liter of oil from time to time. It happened to me after 6.000 km from the oil change. My car has 113.000 km. Is that normal? Do I have a problem or not?

The N series engines are infamous for that, but I don't understand why only some cars are prone to the add 1 litre of oil syndrome

It is all in how well the original owner treated the car during the engine break-in.

Bogdan keep in mind the dealership will also change the oil for you annually if that were to come up before the 19K...

Thank you very much for the advises they are all very useful to me. So I will change the oil when the iDrive tells me to but if I don't drive the 19.000 km within one year I will change it sooner.
Thx very much guys!

i have a 530d as some of the members know, my first service is due in 3200 miles, what does this first service involve, other than oil, filter change?
Anyone have any ideas maybe?
