1 quart per 1000mi is acceptable on engines that have 100k+ on them but not on a brand new platform that is out of the break-in period.

I will be calling BMW NA to voice my concerns regarding this. While I love the car, I cannot (time wise) afford to be taking this in every 1000-2000 miles.
No tell him to shove it.. that is not normal
