however, when i got back to the office (should have checked at the dealership) i noticed that the tail pipes were black as hell and there was a ton of oil on the tips themselves.
for those that are burning oil, are you noticing this as well?
I called the service rep back and he said that with no visible leaks, they do a consumption test. So he noted this in the computer and said "keep an eye on it"

Are you sure this was Oil in the tips and not water? Black tailpipe tips seem to be the norm, I have them on my 535i......but having oil there is a whole other story. If it really is Oil, suggest you take the car back in an have this checked out.
