But I did about half a litre a few months ago. However, I don’t do huge miles anymore, so maybe I’d burn more with more miles. Will be a good 150 mile journey next weekend and it’s flat where’s I’ll be doing my car so can check it a few times. It was filled last weekend with the turbo replacement.
I just did the maf trick and my blue smoke reduced a lot, but it’s still there. So confused!

Yeah I'd definitely see if you can clean the built in oil separator in the valve cover because it's near impossible any other way, I absolutely detest BMW for choosing this flawed design.. any CCV issue and BMW would charge for a new valvecover which is so much money!
Anyway, An alloy cracked a couple of days ago and after having it welded I noticed oil towards the back of the sump by the flywheel. I had a repair to the sump in 2017 so maybe it's started to fail. I'm going to get some pictures and videos soon once I put the front on axle stands
