The joker in me says "your car is always burning oil" thats what OM616 means.
Is the car actually burning oil, like is the oil level going down? I for one
wouldn't worry about it until you're going through oil like the Exxon Valdez...

Had a thought this evening as I backed out my driveway in the 240D.
It's a fairly steep but short driveway.
I notice that there is an unpleasant amount of smoke when I do this. I
thought maybe it's just that I notice it since I'm backing into the
exhaust. But tonight I smelled burning oil.
Was wondering if somehow the angle of the car coupled with the inertia
of moving backward could cause the engine to burn some oil?
I don't know how this would specifically work, it's just a bit of
general detective work.
