There was some white crust in and around the cap.
Was told these cars burn oil and coolant.

My F10 with the N63 leaked/consumed oil regularly until my dealer completely replaced all the valve seals, etc. for free as part of the Bang Settlement.
The Update 3 version of the N63 has valve seals that, according to the BMW tech docs for the engine (page 8 in the attached PDF), they are making the seals out of a new material. Hopefully that addresses the issue.
According to my service advisor, they haven't had major oil consumption issues with the Update 3 engine. Have to consider the source on that one, but they've dealt fairly with me over the years.
