BMW F01 Oil Consumption

knowing that these F01s eat a lot of oil due to bad valve stems will the car let me know if there is low oil or no oil like an indicator or warning? I would hate to find out by the car seizing any help would be appreciated thanks!

Yes it will.

However you can go into iDrive and check too. Click Menu then vehicle info then vehicle status. Here you'll find oil level.

My old F01 burned a ton of oils too, which eventually lead to an engine replacement under the warranty. I had to keep two bottles of engine oils in my trunk, and frequently check the oil level in iDrive. The car used to send me warnings, but it stopped after a few repairs, so I had to do it manually.
