Here is a worrying scenario - left my car in supermarket carpark. When I came out, I noticed a large pool of oil. I didn't think it could have been mine - thought it was from some old banger which had been in the space before me!! I'd had no warning lights, and my car is only just over a year old, with 9700 miles on the clock. Started up to go home, no warning lights. After about 5 miles, orange warning lights came on saying drive moderately, and get car checked out at earliest opportunity. Very shortly after that, RED lights came on saying STOP IMMEDIATELY, risk of engine damage! So I stopped. Within 90 minutes, someone from BMW came out to me, but there was nothing to be done there, car had to be taken to a MINI garage. He offered to take me and my shopping home and a very nice BMW330d replacement car was dropped off at my house the next morning.
Hopefully my car will be fixed and back with me very soon; I don't yet know the cause of this, but wondered if anyone else has experienced anything like it?
