While I don't have experience with a 50i, that type of oil consumption is not at all surprising on any recent BMW I have owned. It doesn't hurt to look for oil spots on the ground where you usually park it, but if there aren't any, then assume that the engine used a quart.

I've had 3 X5s - 2 were 4.4i, a 4.8i and now the X6 50i. All have burned a quart every 5,000 miles or so. I wouldn't be concerned.
I would check for oil spots as JCL recommended just to be sure.

same here - I had to add oil midyear to each of my BMWs (approx every 6K miles on X5, 8K miles on 335). No leaks, "normal for BMW" oil burn.

All depends on how much you're really loving that 5.0 motor. Revving it up towards redline weekly will increase the oil consumption.

Same here. My 50i eats more than my 4.8 did....I have added two quarts in 5500 miles. I do flex the engine often though

Yes, 100% normal...and actually pretty good mileage for just getting the Add oil warning. My 2010 750i (also with BMW's twin turbo V8 engine) requires a qt. of oil EVERY 2000 miles. Yes, every 2000 miles. Both my dealer and the factory area Rep have inspected my car, and says this is "normal". According to them, the 7 Series, X5 50i and the X6 should require oil every 5000 or so miles, but it is Normal if it requires every 1000 miles! Just the turbo engines. The Porsche Cayenne and Turbo 911 usually need a quart every 500-1000 miles. Just what we have to deal with, having high powered engines. A very high quality problem!!
