Personally I think it's how lucky you are with those engines.
I have met a guy with 2010 X6M, 220tkm, original engine, never touched oil pump.
On the other side also met a guy with 2018 X5M 10tkm, burning 1lit of oil per 2000km.

Yep, thats what my 2017 X6M did, but I pretty much didn't care since it was leased. In the end of the day, I don't think oil consumption is a big deal, the far bigger issue with these engines is carbon build up from DI and EGR/CCV systems. These engines start losing a big chunk of their initial performance once they hit 40k miles, and by 100k miles they perform about as well as your average minivan while burning twice as much gas.
