That, sort of, corroborates what the BMW service guy told me - he said that 1/4 of the scale in 1k miles was nothing to worry about and that the consumption should progressively decrease and then improve even further after the first oil change.
Either way, it's something I'll be monitoring on a daily basis - I just knew that I'd miss the zero oil burn and the reassurance of a dipstick from my old E92 330d and F10 535d

Mind you, that's completely offset by the silky smoothness and performance of this amazing 640i.
