F15 Oil Consumption?

Hey guys

Question for you; have a stock F15 '15 X35i ... ive noticed now between oil changes my oil level will be max then towards the end it will be somewhere in the middle between min and max. BMWs interval is 15k and usually i try to do it at the 12k mark (15,000 KM so 9000 miles and i do it at 7500 miles) this time it ran up to 14100 km before my oil change and i did the measurement and it shows between min and max ... i recently had a heli coil put into my oil pan because a service tech had overtorqued it before and it was leaking but now im thinking its consuming the oil? i dont drive it hard only sometimes (maybe 10 times in the numerous times i drive it between oil changes) is this expected behaviour? is this something to worry about?

Half way between min/max is about 0.7L of oil to max, so for 14K KM on the oil i say ur pretty good.

nothing to worry about ? i guess i should do my oil changes more frequently ... its been awhile since my last one and dealers opening and closing has not been ideal

since im at 140,000 KMs do you recommend i change sparkplugs?
