Why does a BMW E90 325i need so much oil?

When to replace crankcase breather valve in BMW E90?
When replacing your crankcase breather valve, I suggest replacing all the vent hoses and the oil drain hose to dipstick tube. They become brittle over time from exposure to engine oil and heat. When removing, the parts are likely to fall apart in your hands. Have the parts shown below before you begin to avoid vehicle down time.
