On 12/28/06 I purchased an 06 X-3 CPO with 12,300 miles from BMW of Montgomery for $34k.On 12/29 I returned the car to the dealer for cleaning/touch up when the oil lamp came on. I mentioned the oil light to the sales advisor and they indicated they would check it out. Upon returning the car I was advised the light was just the oil service reminder and there were no problems. Two days (and 600 miles )later on New Years Eve I'm on I-95 in south Ga when the oil lamp comes on again. I pulled over and checked the oil and found the oil level was well below the minimum mark of the dip stick. After checking the owners manual I had to drive another 50-60 miles looking for 5W30 synthetic oil. I added 4-5 oz to raise the oil level to the minimum mark and took it to my local dealer and they added over 3/4 quart. I checked the CPO Inspection and it indicated the oil was ok when certified on 12-21-06. I can't imagine the car burned well over a quart of oil driving 600 miles and there are no leaks on my garage floor. My guess they never checked the oil during the certification inspection or when I mentioned the oil lamp came on. Could there be any damage to the engine and if so can I assume the dealer or BMW will be responsible for all repairs? I sent an email advising the salesman of the oil problem but other than obligatory v/m message no additional follow-up. After spending $34k for a one year old X-3 CPO I'm pretty disappointed.

Forget the CPO inspection. Every time your car comes into the service bay it should be checked. 4) It sounds like you were only a quart low, in total. While I wouldn't be happy about driving 600-700 miles under that condition, when you expressly brought the light to their attention, you didn't likely do any damage. The only thing that bothers me... is the light was on.. then when you picked it back up.. it was off.. Then, 600 miles later, its on again.. It could be just an intermittent problem with a sensor. Which of course is a better problem than an engine that is burning or leaking oil (and really.. on a newer car..that would be very rare). I'd just keep a close eye on it for awhile. If you see any further problems, contact the service manager. Your salesperson probably won't be much help. Hope that helps, kyfdx
