Be warned though - it is your responsibility to make sure that engine oil is kept within the limits.

If you let it run out, then that is not a warranty issue, and attempting to claim that it is, is fraud.

And BMW will not tolerate fraudulent claims.

Is there not a statement in the manual that says you should not put any oil in until the warning light comes on?

I remember reading this, and thought it was strange. My petrol looks like it will need some top up oil soon, I check mine regularly just to be on the safe side.
