2000 M6 Coupes .Any oil consumption problem?
Did the 2000 M6 coupes have an oil consumption problem? Is so how do I tell if my car will have it? Was it a specific build date?

Back in those days I remember A lot of car having oil consumption problems. GM stated 1 qt in 1500 miles was O.K. some people did manage to get GM to replace the rings. It seems more prevelant on M6's rather than the A4's.

It really affected early production 01 cars the most. My March built 01 burned 1.2 quarts every 800 miles under hard driving. Since the ring replacement it is much better (unless I go to the track)...

Just a comparisom,, my 99 C5 only uses 1/2 pint between oil changes at 7500 miles. But then I don't drive on the track but once per year and no 1/4 mile stuff.. Except when the little granny is driving. Wife has fun at the stop lights.
