Running in period is really important; I have same millage / kms on it however no oil consumption

You must be honest to yourself, if you had some high revving in brake in period, you should not look further;
besides this every engine is different, some consume more than others, also depending on the fuel you'll have.

Also do not forget, the oil used during brake in is special oil, that has to be removed!

After the 2000km service I pushed the car almost every time, knowing some of us (m5 owners) are consuming oil, I checked every 500km oil level, it did not changed a bit.
