1qt / 3200 miles seems within normal specs. Some people may see no oil loss some may need to top off. It is true that break-in may be a factor for oil usage but so may other factors encountered while driving.
You may find after your next oil change oil loss disappears.

Best thing to do is keep records and notify service department when you make a visit.

There is a section in the owners manual discussing when you may need to top off oil and the oil brands you may encounter out on the road and how to handle not finding BMW spec'd oil - so it tells me some oil usage on some engines is not unexpected.
