Yes, I checked too. The 0W-30 is indeed not shown as an ///M specific oil like the 0W-40 was.

As far as oil consumption at the track. It's weird, I think every individual motor is different. I never once added a drop of oil to the S55 in my M4. 17K miles in total, probably 20 track days. The Porsche 991.1 3.8L that I have now burns oil. I've added 2 quarts over about 3K miles and 5 track days. I'm on, I think, the 3rd or 4th S52 in my E36 race car. Some of them consume, some don't. All have been high mileage motors.

However, this has not started with avenue of turbo charged ///M engines, the transition occurred later on, when BMW switched from Castrol to Penzoil. My 2015 owner's manual specified 0W-40 grade. The 0W-40 BMW oil was labelled as an ///M oil and was only available by the quart at the dealer. The "bulk" oil grade distributed thorugh the pipeline in the shop was 0W-30.

Just chiming in. Did a full track day and autoX at Autoclub speedway this past Saturday and I didn’t burn any oil. Did an oil change the day before as well.

I need to revive this thread.
Is there a way to know exactly how much oil is between the "min" and the "max" position shown in iDrive? How do you guys know how much to refill without accidentally putting in too much if you want to keep the oil level at max for track days? |

Be sure you have the car take an actual measurement by selecting the oil level measurement procedure in iDrive. Otherwise you are only getting an estimated level. I personally dont bother adding oil until it hits the min level and then just add a liter/quart then.

I would recommend only adding 1/2 liter at a time and then remeasuring. Can always add a little more if needed but if you pour in a whole liter and then get an overfill message you will need to drain the whole thing. Also, I wouldn't bother adding oil unless the low oil warning came on. As long as the reading is between the min and max levels there is no need to add oil.
