Is there any weight (no pun intended) to this theory/finding?
I'm burning around 200ml a month on my BWA / every 400 miles - I use 5w30
was not aware that they recommended this in the USA?

USA is a big country and so depending on where that post was from it could of been due to the climate... Florida is very different to some where like Maine or Montana...
I have the same engine and stick to 5w 30 oil. Mine uses around 1 litre per 2k miles so about the same. I do short journeys generally, but when it's been on a few runs the oil consumption goes down considerably once everything is burned off inside the engine....

cheers dude... my oil keeps going dirty afer 3k.. yeh its doing its job but i was just wondering if the 5w40 would have better properties in that respect.. im guessing itd be no good to me as there are some weeks where i do the odd short journey and im only 1/4 of the operating temp but having said that... i dont give it the boot either when its not properly warmed up.
