Our `91 E34 525i M50 has 190K and uses 1 qt per 2000 miles.
My `2001 E46 330xi has 110K and uses 1qt per 2500 miles.
If it were 1qt per 1K miles I`d worry.

My E36 325i didn`t use any. My E46 M3 uses some after about 7500k
miles. My E38 doesn`t use any (other than feeding it to the spark
plugs) but it does tell em quite frequently that the oil level is low
(which it isn`t.) When I drained the oil after I first bought it
there was about 2 extra litres/quarts in it.
