also that's a lot of oil consumption at 1300km. you can try and step up your oil grade and it should help, but that's pretty ugly. that shouldn't be ok, but BMW will say its probably ok even if it was blowing smoke out the back

It is a lot, apparently this is an acceptable amount of consumption. I jokingly said BMW should of put an oil cap next to the fuel cap so every 3rd or 4th tank I could top the oil off. They didn't;t think it was as funny as I did. I have changed to Castol Edge 5W-40 and see how this goes.
I thought that oil seemed a little on the thick side, thanks for your reply, much appreciated.
