    thrust arm bushings are probably toast, have the whole front end inspected for play and replace everything in question, also inspect and tighten the nut behind the wheel.

    1. Please fill in all the info in your profile
    2. What grade of oil are you using? Oil consumption of about 1 liter on 1000 km is normal for that kind of mileage if you're using 0/5/10w40 oil. Also, check for gasket leaks, especially the oil pan, oil filter housing, valve cover, etc.
    3. Vibration is probably caused by worn bushings in the upper/lower control arms. Also check the subframe bushings and the steering box (adjust the nut behind the wheel if necessary, as Jeff suggested)
    4. Did I mention that you should fill out all of the info in your profile?

    Thanks for the response gays.
    I use 5w30 synthetic Mobil 1 oil.
    I get low oil message when I drive 700-750 miles strait or during the mount and I don’t see any oil leak marks on the ground and engine looks ok too.

    Try switching to 10w40 Mobil 1 and see if it lowers your oil consumption.

    Then it probably burns some oil, which is normal for your mileage. As I said before, try using thicker oil, for example 10w40 or even 15w50.

    Don't forget - BMW recommends 10w40 for a brand new engine! Maybe it's wise to switch to 15w50 after 200k miles.
