BMW's new technology: burning engine oil

Think everyone here know the BMW N55 engine is burning oil!:confused
My is done 11,800 Km.
I finally have to add 1 L oil after the warning signal coming out today.
What's your oil status?

PS: I called the BMW technician and he told me the oil better should be 0-40.
But I just can't find when I driving at the middle of the high way to GZ.
So I add 5-40 instead. Would it any difference?

shouldn't worry too much I guess as you only added 1L.

The N55 is really burning.
