2009 335i coupe - Normal oil consumption

[tonytwohoots]

Depending on the brand of oil, I notice the oil temps run from 240F-250F degrees. That will oxidize oil and burn it quickly. I would recommend checking oil on a regular basis and changing it no more than every 5K miles. After 5k, one may experience sludging... sludging will cause other problems with the VANOS. We have a 130K on the 2009 e92, it runs smooth as silk and sometimes burns about a quart before the 5K miles interval oil change. I am using Amsoil Full Synthetic European Formula.

I like to hear that - I just bought a 1 owner 2007 e92 with 127K, Two new turbos. Will be a play toy, I also have an e38 2001 SPort since new with 33K miles - a garage queen. I have a DD and I am retired no long trips.

I had an'83 e21 320iS - new to 2008 and sold, regretted it ever since. I like the smaller body BMW to play with. I had put over $50K in the e21, will not do that again I hope.
