How long did that take? Make sure you check your oil level at least at every other fill up.
Funny how my 1999 Corolla burns more oil than my RX-8, and the latter actually has a reason to burn oil.

Yep, the plastic tanks can crack after a few years. Look around and you may find some aftermarket aluminum ones.
Do BMW cars come with a coolant level sensor unit? I know my RX-8 does, except the sensor has a reputation for breaking down(at least on the older ones), LOL.
Might want to replace the cap as well.
