Hey guys, I made a mistake in this video! I referred to the N52 engine as an N54 for whatever reasons- don’t ask me why 🙃 Apologies for any confusion

Another good video. That is a beautiful engine. I daily drive my 08 M5. I drive it easy most of the time and get on it when appropriate and under every bridge underpass!  It consumes 1 liter of Castrol 10w-60 every 1000 miles like clockwork. I found some info on the S85 online the other day. It listed oil consumption as 1 liter every 750km. That made me feel better. I have replaced my oil cooler because of a leak that developed where the lines run into the coils.

Mine eats about a quart every 4-500 miles, no discernible issues with the engine. Did the PCV valves; the old ones worked fine and unsurprisingly there was no change. It’s. 2007 m5 6mt and I only paid 15k for it so I suppose I shouldn’t complain. No other trouble really except coil packs and a blown hose on the power steering cooler. Money well spent I think.

Excellent well explained video 👊.

Honestly my 09 m5 daily driver consumes about 1 quart of 10w-60 every 3 to 4,000 miles just hit 43k miles. Definitely got lucky with my s85 she's running strong!!

I bought my 07 M6 E63 a few months ago and have driven nearly 2k miles. Hasn't burned a drop of oil!

Hola buenas noches.yo no creo que tenido suerte...en 7.000 kilómetros consumió de 200 a 300 mililitros. Nunca e rellenado el litro del nivel.

The oil meassurement should always be done after several minuteres of low reving otherwise it will show up to 0.5 liter less oil than there is in the engine.

All these cars seem to vary wildly in their use of engine oil. My 2010 with 90K miles uses a litre around every 5,000 miles so in practice I normally change the oil rather than top it up. That electronic dipstick is very untrustworthy though - if you follow what it says you’re in danger of over filling it.   Seems to need a good few miles to stabilise as you say,

2009 M6 here! 40.000 miles and Ravenol 5w50, 1quart every 4.000 miles. I found a leak near the oil pan bolt in the last oil change

I love this car so much..

My 06 e60 m5 loves to consume oil . I add a quart regularly. 68k

Hi guys,I am just both e60 m5 from japan,it's in the perfect condition outside and inside,with the full service history,but there is no records about road berings replacement. It has 100 000km on the clock. Should I replace them?

Hey any idea why the input speed in trans is matching the engine rpm at idle after new clutch, flywheel and hydraulic unit? 900 rpms wont pass clutch slip point on adaptations.

My m5 consumes 1 Quart every 400 miles. What do you recomend me to check?

What is the crankcase vacuum at Hot/Idle on this engine? My bet is .5"Hg(16.9mbar) or less.
