What's the current mileage on your BMW 330 ZHP?

I must bow to you and your cars mileage. That is amazing. What is your oil consumption, etc like?

Caught it right on time. I drove .1 after it and it clicked to 375001!

Niiiiice!
375,000 km = ~233,014 miles


Made a nice catch myself the other night coming back from Charlie's place. Yes, I did get 211,111 as well but my OCD prefers this one instead!

I use Mobil1 0W40 and it drinks about a quart every 1000 miles. Not very consistent (my super cold starts at -20F probably don't help) and honestly at $25/5qt I don't give it a second thought. CCV is clear of any buildup so I know it's not that, oil pan gasket and rear main seal both seep a little but that's it. Probably worn valve seals, but it hasn't gotten any worse since I bought the car so I'm not too concerned about it. Zero issues with the glorious 6-speed still on original clutch.

Apart from that I replaced the entire suspension and direction components last May with OEM bits so the car is extremely tight! It's just about keeping up with regular preventative maintenance, really.

You're using about the same amount of oil I am. Here I thought I was using crazy amounts because of track usage, but that's obviously not the case... there have been reports of people using similar amounts of oil at this mileage as well.
