Hey guys,
I checked my oil through the menus with about 8K miles and it was at the minimum. Stopped at the dealer on the way to work. It seemed like a lot of new guys working there (BMW Gallery in Norwood, MA). Anyway, it took them awhile and they added a quart. I asked to see the oil after they added it and it was 5w 30. I checked the spec later and it should be 0w 20 or 0w 30.
One of the new guys came over and said: "That's not good, it should not need to add oil at 8000 miles". I said "That's why I'm leasing it!". And he said "Smart, let it be someone else's problem."
I had a 2013 550 (N63 motor) which burned more oil, about every 5k miles. My X5 with the N55 didn't burn any, or at least I never had to add any... Definitely drive the m340xi in a "spirited" fashion tho.
