Yeah I was suspecting something internal also just wasn't sure what could make that much oil vanish without any obvious traces, neither of what you suggested sounds like cheap fixes so lets see. I got time to finish the test on Monday next week. That might shed some light.

I will check the digital service book again once I get back from work but I would like to remember it was meticulously serviced which made the huge oil consumption seem so out of place. |

So I heard back from the bmw dealership. The car doesn't have a low oil error logged so they can't prove that I needed to add 1L during my 1000km drive which leave consumption at 0.5L per 1000km meaning the car actually consumed 1.5L for a 1000km drive. They admit that someone has been doing changes to the car (coding it), they could see it was months before I bought it, but the burden of proof is still on my shoulders.
I am starting to get to my whits end. They told my clearly that this problem will not go away, it will get worse but it's not bad enough to warranty a fix on the purchase deal and by the time it is bad enough to fix it will most likely be 6-12 month after purchase and not reasonable to assume they would fix it. Their best suggestion is that I just go aimlessly driving around until the "low oil" comes on and instantly get back to them so they can see it. If anyone has any ideas I would be very happy because this is starting to look like I need to start saving for a engine change in a few months. |

So it seems that finally I get mechanics to see the error and it seems the car doesn't save errors in the ECU anymore. official consumption now estimated to 1.3-1.5l per 1000km by dealership.

I had to rebuild the engine due to snapped timing chain. All internals are new apart from crankshaft. 10k Kms since then and done 1st oil change. No more oil top up now.

[QUOTE=ViA;30564561]so the problem was the piston rings?
mine 318d constantly regener. dpf every 50km and I have an oil consumption of 1l/2000km everything else is ok, even the chain is fine Probably the valve seal.i had only 70k milles when chain snapped. I have noticed the unusual regen too. Beemerlink shows dpf outside the parameters, quite a high value soot build up.
