Less than average, I'd say. That's less than a qt every 10K. BMW says anything less than a qt ever 1K is acceptable, so you're 1/10th as much as that. Obviously, nothing to be concerned about.

Just completed close to 3,400 miles on a road trip. Used about a 1/2 cup of oil in the whole trip. I'm happy with that!

Done 9300km, used about 1.5 litres. But the first 1 litre was used in the first 4000km. Hav'nt topped up for the last +-2000km yet.
On my 10000km service I'll be changing to AMSoil 10W-40, want to see if any difference to shifting and oil usage.
