BMW 318 Ci burning oil

bauble1 · 2011-01-09 21:35:21

Hi I have a 2002 BMW 318 Ci which is burning a lot of oil. Any ideas how much this would cost to fix and if it's even worthwhile for a car of this age? Thanks

It depends what it is. If it's an issue with the PCV, for example, then it's well worth getting sorted - if it's due to bore wear then probably not. Best to start by having someone who knows what they're doing take a look.
