Topping up of 1 liter after every 5k KM?  Cos if I remember correctly the oil dipstick min/max level is 1 liter.

I don't have any experience as I've driven less than 2k KM on my 3litre diesel but it doesn't sound good for your case.  My engine seems to not consume that much oil and previous 2 oil level checks didn't show any visible drop in oil levels.

Someone with E46 should be able to help you out.  Or try the other BMW forums.

I've posted on BMWClubMalaysia.com as well for more feed backs. Btw, what kinda engine oil would you guys recommend for my E46 2.0L? I'm currently using Shell 5W-40. I usually service my car at AB Sungai Besi, by default they offer Petronas, I'm not so sure whether is that a good thing or should I bring my own engine oil instead....

Thanks for your reply smile.gif
