This is my first post on the BMW board. I purchased a 2001 330XI in June of this year and absolutely love the car.
My question: I have had the oil changed (w/ the correct synthetic) twice since I purchased the car. Both times, I drove the car approx. 5,000 - 6,000 miles prior to the oil change. Both times, right before I was going to have the oil changed, the yellow oil light came on indicating I was a little low. I topped the oil off and then had the oil changed....no big deal. I had the dealer check for leaks and they confirmed that the car was fine. I have driven some long distances prior to each oil change, and the car is a daily driver, but I was wondering whether anyone else has had a similar experience. As an aside, I have a friend with a 2001 Audi S4 and he had the exact same experience recently.
