That's what I was afraid of. Which really sucks as the car is extremely

Don't like the time between oil changes
I agree that is too long.
I have a 99' 528i and I change it every 3000mi. Of course I have about 195K

e39 Noise/ Steering issue
Mark you were right, I went back and the reservoir was almost empty! Now I
have to track down where this leak is. I filled it again to be safe and that

Thanks...
