    Hi. What is classed as normal oil consumption on an N52 engine? Mine used approximately 500ml in 1k miles. Pretty sure it is not normal. Had the car checked over, and no visual oil leaks spotted. I've done a full service when I bought a car. It is running on 0w-30 Castrol Edge. I've got 115k...

    What are people getting for this? I've seen the late 2007 models are supposed to average 40mpg combined. Sounds a little far fetched. ???

    Hi Guys, just on 300 miles and quite concerned about fuel consumption. 1.5 twin turbo petrol engine. I am aware new cars will have a bit increased consumption through running in period. Also I have moved from diesel car previously and maybe I just got used to different figures. Well, at the...
