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.

In my old E38 740i I NEVER topped it up between oil services 1 or 11. 12 years
and 190K
