I may be covering a previous post, but I read an article about Hartge and their use of M5 V8 engine in E46 coupe. The said that Hartge used a different Oil sump arrangement than BMW. When describing, they mentioned that one noted problem of BMW system was that when engine is hot/warm it still holds a large amount of oil in engine. This has lead to customers getting low readings and overfilling engine.
I wondered if this could be cause of numerous posts discussing high consumption.
Anyone else seen this? - is it true or just journo hype?
Does M5 have internal oil level and/or pressure monitor??
