Oil level help.

First off, the car is in km, not miles.
2007 335i sedan.
Built date sept 2006.

Changes oil in jan 2013.
Used Castrol European 0-w30.
Reset oil minder.
Did cool and spark plugs also along with Both vanos Solenoids.
All by my self.... I like tinkering.

Now July don't know exactly how many km I put on since oil change.
Car asked for oil in iDrive today.
It was at MIN mark....hmmmm
after adding 1 liter.
Read oil again....
It reached half way only.

Car was backed into my garage, which is in a slight downgrade.

Should I put another liter in?
Also when I reset the oil minder in Jan, it stated 24k km.
Now it says 15k km to service oil.
So in 9000 approx km or 6000 miles approx, it burned a liter or more.... Wtf.

What do you guys think?

No white smoke, no turbo leaking smoke.
Turbos are original.
Fuel pump changed in March 2010.

Thanks in Advance.
