Oil Consumption revisited...dealer added too much oil?

So I got a warning light that I was one liter low again. been averaging 675-750 miles.

Complained to dealer and BMW NA. I am now being tested, and to my surprise, I have gone over 1,300 miles, which i found suspicious.

So I went back and looked at my service record and it says diagnosis is 2 liters low (versus one quart on the screen).

They added 2 liters and it says diag code showed oil at max.

No wonder I am going so far. What gives?
