X6 burning oil

My 2010 X6 5.0 seems to be using oil a little more than I feel is normal.

At about 4100 miles my engine monitor notified me I needed oil and I added a quart.

Now at 5200 my oil guage shows me down about a quarter of a quart which works out to about a quart per 4000 miles.

This seems strange to me as I have never owned a vehicle that really used any oil (my normal changes were at 7500 mi max).

Anyone else have a vehicle using oil at this rate, or any ideas as to the cause or is it not that unordinary with a performance engine like the TT V-8?

I will say I am a heavy footed driver too !

Any opinions would much appreciated here

Ok, I did a forum search and I guess I have nop worries as others have used oil expecially during the early/breakin miles.
