Not over a long period of time ... I'm talking 1 quart every 1,000 miles. The car has about 3200 miles.
We all know that is nuts on a modern car... but.. there you go..

Thanks in advance.
I checked the oil dip stick when the car was cold and it registers about 25% up from the low bump to the high bump. I do not know how sensitive the BMW engine is to oil level. The last time only one lamp was on (14K miles ago), the dealer told me I should wait for that last lamp to go out, because they would not pay for the oil change until it does. I am now out of the maintanence free period so this advice no longer applies.
Choices:
(a) put a quart of oil in and wait for the last service meter lamp to go out
(b) not put a quart in, keep checking the oil level and wait for the lamp to go out
(c) have the oil changed now
Also, the clutch pedel squeaks when I push it to engage and disengage the gears. Any idea what that could be?
Thanks for the advise. Yes BMW did include expansion tank, didn't mention new coolant. Yes my eyes are glued to the Temp Gauge no movement as of yet nor idiot light on. Thanks for info re replacing expansion tank, and BMW coolant.
By the way do you own a BMW? If so what year and series? Once again I appreciate your help & advice.

As for me, I've owned seven BMWs since 1983, beginning with a 1973 Bavaria 3.0. My current stable consists of a 318ti Club Sport and a 1997 528iA.
thanks in advance guy's
Just an FYI.
Once again, thanks for keeping me honest. ;-)

I took it in three times, and finally had to call BMW north america to finally get this fixed. The error would come up about 3 times a week. If I turned off the engine and restarted it, it seemed to eventually correct itself.
The dealer airshipped a new computer ($2500 item) to the service dept., they replaced it, and it worked fine for a while. Then, it came up once again, SOS.
Has anyone experienced this problem? I didn't have it on my 05 BMW 525i, but I do on the 06 530i.
Thanks all.
Thanks
Please help, or do you want to broker a deal to help sell my 525?
Thanks.
Thanks!
Has anyone experienced the same and found the solution to get rid of this? My dealer in nearly 1 hour away so I was hoping to resolve this on my own to avoid the long trip.
Thanks!
2002 530i, 5 speed w/sport package.
60,116 miles
26.4 MPG, average since new.
50.5 MPH; did not go to Nashville as much this year.
Front brake pads, 9.5 mm remaining; 11.5 mm at 37,500 miles.
Rear brake pads, 9 mm remaining; 11 mm at 37,500 miles.
Bad news: It's a rwd car, snow (not just M+S but real snow-on-the-mountain symbol)
tires are mandatory for safety and practical reasons.
Good news: Equipped with proper snows the 5er is a little sno-bear in winter driving
with good balance, brakes and a superb traction control.. My only gripe is the lack of available winter wiper blades and rear fog lamps.
I get good results on Blizzak WS-50s on my 2000 528iA and I live in snowy, hilly New Hampshire. Nokian Hakkapellittas are also highly recommended.
2001 BMW 330ci/E46, 2008 BMW 335i conv/E93
The sound will drive you crazy after driving it for a couple hours.

Thank you. It's been awhile. Back in Calif. getting life back together. Wow you've had some nice BMW's, and experience. Today I took the car to get the radiator replaced. Come to find out the clutch fan is broken. Still spins however mechanic indicated he could stop it bare hand. What he said is he believes the clutch fan went first then the radiator. I've looked in my manual to find the answer regarding the car beeping inside for no reason. No lights come on when it happens it just happens at of no where. Do you have any idea what this is? It's beeps three times then stops. Please advise. Oh just want to say thank you.
