Oil is down a quart every month. The dealer has checked for a leak and found none.
The dealer says the car burning this much oil is "normal"
Is it normal ?
If not , what do I, before the warrwnty runs out.

You have an extended warranty thru the dealer, good luck getting them to admit that the oil consumption is abnormal, BMW says 1 quart in 1500 miles is acceptable and it goes higher for the M motors. The fine print might be worth reviewing on that warranty contract mate.
