Problem with a BMW 750 5.0 L 2007 88k

Excessive oil burning and smoking on idle, burning 1 litre of oil every 3-400 miles. Suspect fault due to bore lacquering and sticking piston rings. 

The fault was cured by adding 2 x Forté NewGeneration Engine Flush and the owner driving for 500 miles. The oil and filter was then replaced, adding 2 x Forté Oil Fortifier into the new oil. After 1500 miles the owner reported the smoke had stopped, the engine had not used any oil and he was very happy with the result.
