I have checked several times hoping that the car would need the oil as I would not want to bring the oil (of which I paid around Euro 28) with me back home. Anyway, I just ended up not using the oil at all. Oh by the way, I don't know if this matters but I have the 6-speed manual M5.
Same here. I did 2000 miles during ED and my oil level was still full at drop off.

However I have noted on the 550i people have also had varying experiences with oil consumption.

The oil consumption thing, I think elevates the need to find an oil that does not leave any ash deposits when it burns.
