Your car has 6.5 litres of oil in it, and, is designed in terms of the on-board systems to do oil analysis to determine the change interval (distance based, or at1yr intervals per the dealer) AND monitor oil level and notify you when 1 litre / quart down so you can top it off.
New motors will always burn oil due to a number of reasons, as will the car when pushed hard on a track. This is normal. Adding a litre / quart at the mid-point between changes is within normal operating parameters...which is why your car comes with a single bottle of oil in the trunk from new (or should have...mine did).
This is not a reason to demand a free oil change, as the dealer won't give it, due to BMW considering this normal operation...hence why your car will tell you to add oil. You can. Ertainly pay for a mid-cycle change, but that'll be your dime.
