Anymore suggestions ?
thanks
Hard to say why the oil is burning but a cylinder leakdown test would certainly tell you exactly what the problem(s) might be.
Is there a specific coolant that i should get?
you can buy it on Amazon but I think other places might even be a bit cheaper.
It's nothing but regular coolant. Go with a name brand and you're fine.
I've used regular Prestone on my wife's 325xi which had a coolant sensor that leaked coolant and never had any issues.
I use the extended life Prestone on my X5 with no issues as well. Why I use the extended life? No real reason since I did not swap out all of the coolant; I just added to it. My thought was some day I would come back in and do a full drain and flush but I have never flushed the engine block so it's half extended life coolant/half regular.
Is it because the battery was dead and needs to charge back up? I also noticed that I can't open the back doors using the remote entry or the button on the center console. Also battery related?
I left my GPS on and it pulled down the battery in my '03 BMW X5. I recharged the battery. When I started the car, the fuel gauge read empty. I know I had a 1/2 tank! Just to be sure I topped the tank, 11 gal. Now the gauge reads half full?
Any thoughts?
