My Ride: E60 M5, F85 X5M

Trip to S.F. and back to San Jose. On the way there with a few 1.30 spurts and .90 to 1.15 for the most part the oil dropped from 0.8L to 0.7L (seems to be about the same amount of miles to get from 0.9L to 0.8L, though). No drop after the return trip which was much slower at 5pm.
Mine seems to be barely using oil. Maybe a change for the 2008? Or maybe something to do with break-in?
I am not complaining, but at this rate if I do the math .2L loss over 2,500 miles would equate to 12,500 miles between quarts and I plan to change oil every 7K or so anyways. Hmm, what to do with the two quarts in the trunk
If this keeps up I will not miss topping off the oil as I have done it for the last 5-years a lot with the old E39 M5.
Yeah, it is definately a ghost town in here as far as the M5 side of this board. Think I'll start hanging out on the E60 side when not on m5board.

HAHA...John is this you?
I got a buttload of work I need to get done and my daughter's 16th b-day is next week.
I really want to go though. I am still hoping I can make it, at least for the day or maybe just come home really early Sunday morning.
Hopefully, it will be o.k. if I tag along even with this late of notice. Not too worried about lunch if they can't squeeze. I can afford to skip a meal...
...and if I do stay the night, figured I would just get the room when I get there at this point, even if I need to pay full rate.
I'll call you tomorrow and confirm one way or another...
