How many miles/months since the last oil change? I usually don't get the oil changed until needed (depending on mileage and time). The BMW dealership I go to for service tops off the oil for free as long as the car is asking for it. My car also does not seem to consume as much oil as others. I was able to drive about 4300 miles before adding 1L. See the below excerpt from the service records I keep:


4/17/09
1200 Mile Service Performed
Oil & Filter Change
Transmission Filter Cleaned
Transmission Fliud Changed
Differential Fliud Changed
Mileage: 001219

3/4/10
1L of 10w-60 Castrol TWS Motorsport Oil Added
Mileage: 005511

4/29/10
Oil & Filter Change
Mileage: 006838
