The poor mileage is kind of expected with a 400 HP 5300 pound vehicle. I get >14 around the neighborhood (lots of stop and go and hills) but average 24 highway, so it balances out for me. My 2012 X5 50i had an oil change in August and I've added a quart of oil twice having put on less than 2500 miles since. Prettying annoying, but I can handle keeping a couple extra quarts in the trunk. Mine is actually going in tomorrow for a long list of little issues, I'll ask about the turbos. I'd never advise anyone to buy a BMW for its reliability, only for the enjoyment of driving it.
