Hi Julia, the BMW 1 Series engine is known for its high oil consumption and it is a common issue reported by many owners. As for the strange noise, it could be due to a faulty sensor or a loose belt. I would recommend getting your car checked by a certified mechanic to properly diagnose and solve the issue.

Hey Julia, the high oil consumption in the BMW 1 Series is caused by the design of the piston rings. It is a common problem and there is no permanent solution for it but you can try using a higher grade of oil and regularly checking your oil levels. As for the noise, it could be due to a worn out timing chain or vanos unit. I would suggest taking your car to a BMW dealership for a thorough inspection and repair.

Hi Julia, I've been a BMW 1 Series owner for 5 years now and I have also experienced the high oil consumption issue. I have found that using a high-quality synthetic oil has helped reduce the oil consumption significantly. Additionally, make sure to follow the recommended oil change intervals stated in your owner's manual. Regarding the strange noise, it could be due to a faulty serpentine belt or pulley. I would recommend taking your car to a trusted mechanic for a proper diagnosis and repair.
