It's normal on E63's. I change my oil more frequently than recommended and i still get that message around 4,000 to 5,000 miles.

Did you do a proper breakin on the new car/motor? My 02 E55K S/C'ed, 68K miles don't burn any oil at all. I owned 3 BMW M3 and they don't burn oil either.

Search the threads here. You'll see a lot of us with 55's and 63 engines burn oil. 18k miles on my ML63 and I STILL burn oil. Allegedly thats the "Norm"

I got that message at about 7,700 miles in my 08. I was very careful during the breakin period. I am guessing that my consumption is about 3,000 miles per quart which I don't find objectionable. I was just surprised by the message.

I'm taking the car for service tomorrow.. Although I only have 5,000 miles, I was told by MB that I need to get an oil change because it is either your first 10,000 miles or 1 full year of ownership.
It's still kind of crazy that the car burns Oil. I took it very easy the first 1,500 miles but after that I got on her pretty good. Thanks for the comments.
