If I had read this forum prior to buying my m5, I would have skipped it, having dealt with oil issues with other manufacturers. I am fortunate though to not suffer from oil issues with this m5. Although a top off is free, it would've been a pita and disruption to my schedule.

Yeah perhaps. But I've had very similar consumption on a round of cars I've had. I'll list them.
E36 M3 x 2 (80K miles)
E39 M5 (40K miles)
E63 AMG (70K miles)
981 Porsche Cayman S (brand new)
AMG C63S (brand new)
Normal oil consumption has been documented in every single manual of these cars. If it ever got to the point of significant oil consumption, then I would worry.
