I know turbos cook oil, but do they drink it that fast? Definitely a question for the service guys when they fix my seat.
After a quick search of the internets, seems it's not at all uncommon, at least for the V8s. 1 quart every 3300 miles seems to be about average. Bet no one factors that into the total cost of ownership!

Thanks guys, but it's the 640i I'm asking about; it's a straight six as opposed to your V8s and I think the oil burning characteristics are different.
Cheers anyway
