"Where are you reading that BMW advised to add 2 when it asks for 1?"

From the Bmw Horse's Mouth:

"Procedure: Engine oil - Topping up - When one of the above vehicles displays a message to add 1 quart of engine oil, BMW recommends adding 2 quarts of engine oil instead. The engine's oil sump design allows the additional quart; the result is a total capacity of 9.5 quarts (9.0 liters) of engine oil."
