I wanted to share this with the rest of you guys to get some feedback.
I got the car from the dealer with a full oil level in june then drove it about 450 miles and (see first pic) checked the oil level on it. Oil shows to be low. I added about 450-500 ml and it put it at the proper level. I thought maybe it was not filled correctly from mclaren.

I drove the car about a 100 miles after that and it seems that it dropped about one bar total.

To add some context here, a few times since I bought the car, I would see a bit of a white smoke come out of it when i start it after it's been sitting for a few days.

I am hoping this is considered normal consumption and nothing to worry about.
My 720 did consume oil but a bit less than the 750.

When I was shopping for a 750S I was offered one with only 670kms at an attractive price. It would puff out plumes of blue smoke on start up--I found this very disconcerting. I later bought a new 750S which doesn't smoke and I'm happy with the car.

Update:

Drove the car this Saturday with a buddy in his 720. I put about 100 miles on the car. Checked the oil as soon as I pulled into the garage and now it shows back to the yellow mark. Service advisor called me Friday to discuss the issue. He brought it up to McLaren and they told him that if I keep consuming that much oil to have the car brought it and drain the oil, measure it, add the proper amount needed then drive the car 1000 miles. Rinse and repeat two more times.

I’ve had a similar situation with my 2025 750. I was down to minimum oil level with only 250 miles on the car. I put about 2/3 quart in the car and it seems to be ok now with 550 miles on the car. I would recommend checking the oil level at the same spot on your driveway every time as the sensors appear to be very sensitive.

I also checked with the dealer that I bought the car from and they confirmed that the car’s oil level was never checked during prep before sale. I think the oil level was low from the factory and this may be more common than thought. With that said there’s no sign of oil on my garage floor or blue / black smoke. I do get a little white smoke during startup that goes away quickly and is likely condensation.

I always check the oil level in the same spot, inside my garage, and always after I am done with a drive. The car had fresh oil when I picked it up from the dealer, per my request, because it set there a while before it sold. The tech that worked on it has worked on my last two 720's and he confirmed that he filled it to the top of the green reading.
The last 3 times I started it, there was no smoke.
