Everyone's experience will be different.
These engines do not consume like the previous M cars S54 - S65 - S85

On my F06 M6 I had from brand new stock to mild bolt on's (catless downpipes, exhaust, intakes, 3.5bar sensors with ECU flash" and I drove the crap out of my car for 40,000 miles.. I had to add 1 liter of oil very random. And by random I mean every 2 or 3 oil services I had to add 1 liter. I changed my oil every 4k
Never visited the dealer for service

Nice!

I know it varies I just want to see if their is a correlation to being tuned or not etc.

There shouldn't be a significant difference other than more blow-by. Sometimes the artifact is you tend to drive the car harder once tuned!
