slightly off topic, but very annoying and might make some here feel better:
i bought a new 2014 BMW X5 M series 5.0 with the twin power turbo V8. the idea was to replace the 2006 yukon denali with something new and zero maintenance. i was stunned when at about 3000 miles it showed to be 2 quarts low. the warning indicator came on, skipping right past the 1 quart warning. there is no dip stick by the way. all computer controlled and monitored. anyway, BMW says that 1 quart ever 700 miles is acceptable. i haven't had anything new that burned oil in over a decade. i didn't think cars did that anymore. but, apparently the turbo bmws do. just crazy to me.
so, to those of you who go through a quart now and then on your $3000 944, feel good. i am going through a quart every 1500 miles on a brand new $85k car.
