You must be burning some oil, Each bar is around a 1/4 liter of oil. the problem with the BMW system is an accurate reading is only obtained after the engine is warned up. But unless you getting a low warning or other fault, you are fine. A fault would be a faulty oil level sensor, verified with pulling the codes. Have a local BMW independent shop take a look at it or answer your questions vs the dealer.
