A month or so ago (5000 km later) the oil level was still showing max, now it has dropped to 75% level, so if it continues in this fashion it will need to be topped up once before normal scheduled service in 2014, but going to change the oil beginning of next year anyway and continue to change the oil annually since I don't do very high mileage most of the time...
These E90 engines are known to use oil apparently, but to what degree is the question, and based on what type of driving etc.

Yeah I'm checking the level every few days now to make sure I'm not leaking catastrophic amounts lol.
I really hope it was just that the previous oil change didn't add enough / very very small amount burned.
I'll chime in back in this thread when I close in on 80k miles. I'll be doing oil change, coolant, and tranny fluid (doing it every 40k miles)
