just bought this 525 i 2002 with lots of hidden problems. first it burns oil. did the compression test. cyl1 180, cyl2 175 cyl 3 160, cyl 4 165, vyl 5 170, cyl 6 125!!!! i did engine flush with bavauto recommended lubro moly. it looks like it stopped blue smoke from puffin but is still consumes oil. i never replaced the oil separator and hoses around it. mechanic told me that they were fine but i read that at this milage it has to be done, period. now i did the ligh engine check and it said something about, post catalyst fuel trim bank1 1 too lean, and some misfire 1, and something about fuel low. i had also fuel injectors cleaned when I bought is and valve cover gasket replaced, and spark plugs replaced. please tell what are my options??

Replace the cyclone seperator and reset the adaptations and your oil consumption should get better.
