Experienced exactly the same with my 20d @ 20 000 km last year. Topped it off with approx one litre bottle and had the dealer check for leakages but nothing. Now I am at 48000 km and haven't experienced it again.

I was told by the dealer that it is quite common to have to top the colant off once in a while and it was also the case with my previous Golf but not with my last Merc. When the warning appeared in the X3 I checked physically and the level was a tad below the min mark.
