In 5000 miles, I did not notice any oil consumption on my e39 530i,
certainly not enough that it would warrant a top up. That`s with 0w-30
oil... in Florida.

No. I have a `96 525 SE with 180k. No oil needed between oil changes.
I also have a `97 528i with 170k. Again no oil needed between oil changes.
Having said that, all engine burn oil, but a good std engine shouldn`t burn
enough to need topping up between oil changes.
Any drop in the oil levels on my two cars is not really noticeable.
Mike.
