Arrow E83 X3 2008 Oil Consumption

Hi evevryone!! I have a 2008 X3 2.5 SI purchased in Buenos Aires 2 years ago with 60.000 kms. This car was first hand and although I had to improve it, the car runs smoothly and very nice. Sofar I have done 20K Kms and I ever since I bought it, I notice that I have to add 1 Ltr of oil every 2000-2500 Kms. I took it the dealer and they changed an oil valve and had the inside of the engine thoroughly cleaned, but consumption is still high. Some users will tell you that this is normal, but I find this quite abnormal so in the meantime I keep a Liter of oil always in the trunk. Question: Has anyone experienced this with the 2.5 Engine?
Thanks and all the best to you all!

I have a 2008 gasoline E83 and I'd say it burns only .5 - 1 quart of oil per computer oil change interval. 5W-30 Mobil 1 Synthetic.
