The oil level sensor in the car seems to be very sensitive to the levelness of the car. I have gotten differing readings within 50-100km of each other. Makes me worried about adding oil and I think I may have overfiled it before (only 200ml or so).

BMW themselves say that M engines can consume up to 1.5L of oil per 1000km!

"Because of their increased power output and torque, M engines have a maximum permissible oil consumption of 1.5 l/1000 km."
