Eh; it's manageable for now, but the sheer volume of oil that keeps "disappearing" on a regular basis is definitely something to keep tabs on...

I guess it comes from the style of driving you are saying sport plus 80% of the time, I drive mine mainly comfort and rev it no more then 3000 RMP, from time to time I put it on sport plus and make few full throttles and as I said 4400 miles oil at maximum. I'm sure if you drive it until 3000 RMP in comfort you wont burn that much of oil.
Every car burn a lot of oil if it's pushed, back in the days brand new m5 e60 could burn 1 liter oil for 2 track laps...
I guess the oil consumption is OK, if you have patient try to drive it slower and see if you still burn oil, if it still burn then something is wrong with the engine.
