Just got back from the dealership, the service manager stated that "this is normal, these engines burn about a quart every 1000 miles."
Given that these are advertised to be serviced every 12mo / 10k miles for an oil change, this information is quite concerning as you would have cars coming in with no oil with months of starvation.
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.
