What owners report
MY 2016 BMW 550I XDRIVE M SPORT IS USING/BURNING ONE QUART OF OIL EVERY 750-800 MILES, THE ODOMETER READS 36,343 MILES, VERY LOW MILES FOR THIS CAR TO BE USING THAT MUCH OIL, I BOUGHT IT IN AUGUST OF 2019 WITH 34,654 MILES ON IT. YOU CAN SEE THAT I DON'T DRIVE IT THAT MUCH, HAVE NEVER HAD THE CAR ON ANY KIND OF TRACK. THE BMW DEALERSHIP IN SCHERERVILLE INDIANA SAYS THIS KIND OF OIL CONSUMPTION IS NORMAL.!!! THERE IS NO WAY THIS EXPENSIVE LUXURY CAR SHOULD BURN ANY KIND OF OIL WITH THIS LOW OF MILES. I REALLY WANT THIS COMPLAINT TO BE HEARD!! THANK YOU.
