2021 BMW 3 Series burns approximately one liter of engine oil. Below is an introduction to related content about BMW Mini: 1. Brand: BMW Mini is a British microcar brand, now under the BMW Group. Mini originally started as a specific model known as the "Morris Mini-Minor," introduced by the British Motor Corporation in 1959, and later developed into a brand with multiple small car models. 2. Color Matching: BMW Mini offers a very rich color palette, allowing you to choose either the same color for the body and roof or different colors for the body and roof.

I've always been interested in BMW engines. The 2021 3 Series uses the B48 series turbocharged engine, which, compared to older models like the N20, has improved valve seals and piston ring designs, significantly reducing oil consumption issues. Most new cars don't burn much oil, but driving habits are crucial; aggressive driving or frequent high RPMs can accelerate consumption. It's recommended to manually check the oil dipstick every time you refuel to ensure the level is between the upper and lower limits. Using BMW-recommended 0W-30 oil can protect the engine, and changing it every 5,000 kilometers can prevent carbon buildup. Occasionally, some owners report slight consumption, but overall it's reliable, and with good maintenance, major issues are rare. Don't believe rumors easily—it actually runs very smoothly in practice.

As a daily driver, I've been driving my 2021 3 Series for almost two years now and haven't encountered any oil burning issues. It starts smoothly, performs steadily in both daily commutes and highway driving, with the oil level consistently staying within the normal range. According to BMW's manual, normal consumption is about 0.1 liters per 1,000 kilometers. After city driving and weekend trips, my checks show almost no change. The technician during maintenance mentioned that the new engine design optimizations have reduced old problems. I check the dipstick monthly and just top up when needed. Unlike my friend with an older model who had constant issues, gentle driving without speeding or racing keeps everything trouble-free. The car's reliability is excellent, so just enjoy it with peace of mind.

Preventing oil burning is key. The 2021 3 Series engine has been optimized, and it's generally not severe under normal conditions. Develop a habit: check the oil dipstick every 2,000 kilometers or once a month, and measure accurately when the engine is cold. Top up the oil if the level is low. Avoid short trips and sudden acceleration to reduce engine wear. Change the oil filter on schedule during maintenance and use high-quality oil. Address minor issues early; don't wait for the warning light. Although new car designs have improved, it's still important to stay vigilant.
