Low Engine Oil Warning at 14,000kms?
Is this normal? I tend to think I shouldn't get an oil level warning before the car has even had its first service....it's not even a
Another pain in the ass about this car that seems off but the dealership says isn't an issue |

It's normal. Turbo cars burn a little bit more oil than naturally aspirated. Also, it consumes a little bit more in the break in period. Depending on your driving habits, the milage you will get that error varies. I've read about people here who see that warning in 5-6k miles.
The low engine oil warning kicks when you are 1 qt less that the regular level. So nothing to worry about. If you go to the dealer they just top your oil off and let you go

Completely different type of car, but my wife and I had a Lexus for 12 years and never had as many issues with that car as I have had with this car in one year

Let me venture a guess. Was it an Audi or something from VAG?

I usually heard this from N55 users. Apparently the N20 in 328i does not consume oil like it's big brother. Don't know why though. Maybe someone who is knowledgable about the subject can explain.
