Oil usage

I know this has been talked about before. I searched, read the threads. Just looking for opinions.

During break-in my 2011.75 E90 burned a bit of oil. It went from full to just above the add level. enter 1200 mile service. The oil level was indicated as full. 400 miles later, I get the notification to add a quart. Dealer is just 6 miles, so I drive in, get a quart added. My SA tells me "we don't do many M oil changes, so it's possible there was some air in the oil dispenser lines."

100 miles later, my oil indicator has dropped by 1/4. No oil drips, none in the engine bay. Reason to be worried? Probably just read differences from the oil sensor?
