Certain audi and bmw cars' standards state that a quart burned every 600 to 700 miles is reasonable. 1qt of oil consumption in 750 miles is the max within bmw specifications. Thanks for the replies, just turned 80k , yes the dealer mentioned something about the cvv valve as a potential culprit but they are if it just got worse then a cvv on the way out is a possibility. Very nice professional young man.
