WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 180 other vehicles, including the 2014 BMW i8, 2014 BMW i3, 2014 BMW Z4, 2014 BMW X6 M, and 2014 BMW X6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If the oil level is too high, oil in the crankcase will be thrown against the cylinder walls and consumed. Check the dipstick markings or electronic measurement (as equipped) to be sure of accuracy. The oil level must not be higher than the upper mark.
