...with JCL. The part I don't know is the oil level sensor warning
in the new E70s: if it comes "on" with 1 or 2, or more qts "down".

But, a qt or 2, in the first 5,000 miles is fairly typical in these engines.
Some owners will see very little oil consumption, others will see your
rate of consumption. And, your dlr will point that out, when you get your
freebie top off.

If there are no obvious leaks, drips, smoking tail pipe, I would not
worry, but watch consumption over the next 5K miles.
