Hope you've all had good Christmas!
I bought my 318is 5 months back, I allow it some misgivings, but this on going oil consumption is beginning to concern me. I've lost count how many times I've had to top it up.
I cant see any leaks, both on the engine or the garage floor
I fear it may be blow-by, but I'm not too certain how to diagnose.
Any thoughts welcome
EDIT - New valve stem seals fitted and a happy motor once again

Get it to a garage with a cylinder leak detector.

I'll take it in this week.
Until then are there any visual signs that could be a give away?
