I had to add about .75 QTs over the first 5,000 miles. After that, the oil levels have remained very stable. I currently have 12K miles.

Like Liquidpaper pointed out, BMW turbo motors, just like most any other turbo motor out there, will burn some oil. The harder you drive and/or if you add power mods, you should expect to burn higher amounts of oil. It's entirely normal. All my prior cars, turbos or not, have burned some amount of oil. If you're burning a quart every 3K miles and it gets worse over time, then I'd start getting worried and ask for an oil consumption test.
