After the 5th time they will add up the consumption and file some sort of report with BMW and see what they recommend we do, if anything. I will keep everyone posted. I'm going in for my 3rd checkup this week. I think if you have a good relationship with a SA, he/she will give the value added service.
My F10 M5 needs to top up 1 quart every 700km. During the 1st 2000km servicing, I have topped up 2 quarts. After oil change at about 2000km, I topped up 1 quart again at 2800km and just this morning another 1 quart at 3800km. My SA told me that this is still within BMW specs and assured me that the oil consumption will come down slightly at 5000km and significantly after 10,000km.

I never had any chance to rev my engine RPM beyond 4000rpm so far as I am caused in very bad traffic jams everyday since I bought the car. Not sure if this is the cause of my M5's high oil consumption?
