What can low oil do to my BMW 328i engine?

Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to BMW 328i engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
