I assume the the heads aren't quite strong enough for the boost either since leaks are showing up and the car is consuming oil... designed for lease not brand excellence I guess. My father in law was a limo driver for a Manhattan big wig, he drove a 750iL - same thing, drinking oil.
Same probs on the E93's also,rod bearings and throttle actuators can empty the bank balance somewhat.
Mostly down to aftermarket supercharging on the M3, the M5 is supposed to be designed for that power.
