If you started to get constant oil starvation you would start to hear top end rattle and other interesting noises. And your oil pressure light would go off.

You would have noticed that.

but dave there isnt no oil pressure light, no oil dash light that illuminates when ignition is turned on

so how would you know if there was no light

why would BMW fit a baffled sump to a 335d? i understand ''M'' models but a 335d?


i will not have constant oil starvation, but it could have had some oil starvation on the 15 mile journey home???? dont you think ???

and that could shorten the life of the turbo's and engine tenfold

even if it never runs low again, it still was low that once and tha damage is done
