It is strange how inconsistent oil usage is.

I have owned 3 E60 M5's and oil usage was consistent, as was method of break-in (per spec).

My F10 M5 goes through a quart about every 4,000mi while all my past E60 M5's went through a quart every 10,000mi. It doesn't bother me, but I do find it strange. E60's were NA engines while F10 is turbo.

Anyways, even if your car uses a lot of oil, you should still get oil changes done (minimum) whenever it's due. Oil filter needs to be changed.
