You would think a modern engine would be more efficient in this regard?

absolutely and I will be keeping an eye on it for sure as I had to add a quart at 3500 miles. Suprisingly my Z4 M Coupe which had the last NA inline 6 M3 engine required very little oil between changes but some (but I didn't drive it very hard/babied it but am driving this new Z4 harder and more in Sport Plus mode as I realized when I sold the MCoupe that I should have enjoyed it more). And my 1999 S2000 which I still have with 155K miles has not once needed any oil added although it has always been regularly driven to the 9K redline. Surprising for a newer engine but have to say this new engine is an amazing engine - love it!
