Coming from a GTI, it burns a litre of oil every couple months. How much oil does it burn for 135 or 335?

I would say that my 135s "used", on average, a quart of oil every service interval (15K miles).
Yea I never got any warning light of low oil in the 135i and its changed either every 10k miles or once a year. Mine was usually once a year as I only put about 10K a year on my car. Unfortunately or fortunately its not like the old days where you checked it every few months. Cars have gotten better over the years at using the oil more efficiently. Less waste. You will get used to it. Just the nature of technology growth.
