The orange oil light of my '01 325i started coming on when I shut off the engine after about 2500 miles. I took it to the dealership and he said it was about 1 qt. low. He says every BMW burns oil, even the '02s. He didn't tell me to expect it to go away at any time and to check it every 3000 miles and expect to add a quart. The oil light hasn't come on since. Thanks for reminding me that I need to check the level
