Re: One issue after another...
Thanks to bro wt, e90koh, James and C3PO for your advice and sharing. Coincidentally, I had already scheduled to bring in my ride to R2D for a change of fresh gearbox/diff lube, so will get them to investigate this peculiar issue as well. Also, I did some googling and discovered a thread in BMWMalaysia forum that was discussing the same issue. A bro there described his solution of replacing the "the oil separator which has been clogged and full of oil sludge and its accesories (hoses etc)", so that might be another root cause besides the usual suspects.
Thread here: How Often you top up engine oil (E60)
I shall update everyone of the progress to recovery. Hopefully, it's not terminal.
Cheers,
Ben

Yes my previous e46 needs toP up every 1-2k km. Ur 2-3k km top is definitely unusual, and like what wt_know said, just bring to any workshop and they can diagnose for u. I seriously doubt total access to ECU is required; even if needed, the workshop should be able to handle it with their equipment. I'm no expert so I won't know what actually is wrong, but most cases it's some gasket or piping leakage due to old age.
I did mine at R2D in Bt Batok. Other workshops include J4C, Boss and BVO at Sin Ming. All contacts available in Sponsors' page. Good luck and do feedback to us after everything is settled so we can all learn from it. Cheers.
