Engine oil

My E90 engine oil seems burn out very fast, about a month time the indicator shown half left. Is it normal even my car doesn't leak ?

Either sensor faulty or EO leaking INTO the engine combustion area. May not necessarily show oil stain on floor as the the car may have a bottom cover to contain any spillage.

Check engine bay area for oil stain/black greasy grime around gasket areas etc.
Previously I had leakage into engine due to worn out valve seals. - no external signs, only lots of WHITE exhaust smoke when ramming on idle (top up 1 litre every 1-2km)

Then I had simultaneous leakage around the flywheel, crankshaft, oil sump and Cylinder Head Cover (top up 1 litre every 3-4km). I could literally smell burnt oil through the air con vents but no visible signs of oil stains on floor. A little here and there will add up. After changing everything at 1 go, no more smell and no more "missing oil". Hope the seals can last till end of COE....

Go have a check with your WS or site sponsors. Definitely will give you a piece of mind after the diagnosis.
