Hi all,
Just curious as my wagon with just under 2700 miles has used none according to the electronic "dip stick." My then new 2013 C63 w/performance pack used a quart at 700 miles and this gradually got better with usage at 1 quart per 3700 miles after 10k miles so I'm happy to see this on the E63s but I do prefer a real dip stick to see for myself. Oh well, I hope the electronic sensor is accurate.

currently at 24,000km (13 months ownership) and I change oil at 8,000km interval. No added oil between interval at all. I do see the bar drop by 1 notch between oil changes. Overall driving style would be in Sport 80% of the time, the other 20% would be in sport + and race mode. No tracking for me.

Mine didn't seem to have used any during the first ~9500 miles before the oil was changed.

9100 miles, no oil consumption. But I had changed oil back at 2000 miles after the break-in period.

Thank you all for your replies. It seems that the 4L v-8 is really tight and just doesn't use oil. I would assume this is true across all the product line using this engine. I wonder if the M5 is like this too.

My last F10 M5 was consuming 1 litre / 800km (500 miles). BMW dealer service said it is within spec. (according to BMW Germany). LOL. Not sure if this problem still exist in the new M5, mind you, the engine is the same from F10 with some tweaks to the other engine components.
