I spoke to my dealer today and they say that they have to note the mileage now and assess when it next requires oil before they can contact BMW to determine if there is a problem. Otherwise the car runs fine. It was run in carefully in the same way as my E46, hence my concern. Do you think this level of oil consumption is excessive compared to other cars?

i had the E60 2006 M5 and that monster was thirsty, i had to top up almost ever 2000miles, it was pathetic, so i just learned to keep two 1 liter of oil bottles in my trunk just in case the oil drops so fast since it was never too accurate.
