Oil empty after 2000 miles
My oil was empty this weekend after only 2000 miles. It was full when I got the car, where did it all go? It isn't leaking, don't have oil stains on my garage floor.

My Z4 had high oil consumption early on, that's now gone. Could just be normal during break-in.
Could also be a faulty oil level sensor.

I have my Z4 E89 sDrive2.3i for 6 months now,when bought (at 14.000 km) the oil service was done. Then drove 11.000 km and today i noticed the oil is at minimum. According to board computer 1 l must be added. Is this normal that oil must be added after 11000 km?

if it is a sensor indication just drive it to the dealership. if you checked it and it is empty dont drive it and get it towed.. this issue might result with a disaster .. definetly it is not normal for a car to consume that much oil in a very short period of time.. i had my first oil change in about 12 xxx kms so for the first times in every 6000 7000 miles i would get it checked..

not good, a normal wear and tear is close to 6k for turbo engines

These engines are known for using a high amount of oil if you push them. The manual also states not to add oil until told to do so. I don't think this is excessive if you are pushing it and keeping the revs up. I use a liter of oil in about 15,000km, but not so much during the winter. Have your dealer check if you are concerned, or if you have not been keeping the revs up.

I had this same thing happen to me recently. At about 2500 miles I got the low oil level warning and had to add a quart in the middle of a road trip. I've been driving the car fairly aggressively, especially when I had it in Europe but also have not experienced oil stains or burned oil. It's been about 700 miles since I topped up and the oil level appears to be fine.
