Oil usage on X5M

Just turned a little over 7700 miles and got the low oil warning light. How much oil does the X5M use? This is a first I've ever had to add oil to a car before an oil change. The M3 at 10000 miles had not burned any oil.

I guess it depends how hard you drive it? I do a lot of city driving and burn maybe a quart every 10k miles

I had to add a quart at around my first 5500 mile mark (right before 1st annual oil change), but didn't need to since. I'm currently at 14,000 miles and owned the car for 2+ years.

My driving style is consistently erratic

Thanks for the replies. I do have a little lead in the right foot.
