The BWW TT like to use some oil. I have a good friend that is a SA at a Bill Jacobs and he tells me that the the 4.4TT (x5, 550, 750) based on short driving conditions will burn oil. My last two X5's were 1qt every 3-5k miles. I get my oils changed in my BMW's every 7.5k ish so I am usually at 1 top off in between changes. The more short trips you take the worse it is. Here is a like to the new SIB which discusses the oil use in the BMW V8TT's I can only assume this is the same for //M variants of the 4.4TT
