My BMW dealer told me when the oil reaches minimum, add 2 full quarts. Due to a consumption design flaw BMW leverages an extra quarts worth of capacity in the engine for top offs.
There is some documentation to back this.
I've been adding 2 quarts myself only when it reaches the bottom line. I have a 2011 X5 5.0i
