Usually the point where oil is added is on top of the engine, make sure look inside the reservoir where your adding oil first. If there is a float or indicator inside the reservoir it's most likely the power steering or coolant reservoir. It could be burning oil or the dealer did not add enough oil when they changed the oil the last time. Most shops use machines that deliver a precise amount of oil, if there instruments are not calibrated correctly they could have added less. I would check your idrive screen and see what the car is reading for oil level. I usually check this periodically to make sure the oil level is fine.
