Don't know. From what I've read, numbers in the 160-180 range seem normal. I've also seen some people post lower numbers (130's, 140's) - those are the folks that were trying to track down an issue.

OMG! You have high compression in cylinder 6! What will you do about that?

according to the bentley, if i remember correctly, the acceptable range is 159-188. giving a few PSI variance in compression testers, i would say BP is fine with that high one.
i did a compression test a few weeks ago on the M54B30 that is in my parts car, and got these results: 171-174-167-170-170-180 PSI (cylinders 1-6, respectively). so he's good, especially for 252K miles - that seems like a very healthy motor. mine listed above has about 112K miles on it.
notice my cyl 6 reading was the highest, too... oooooh....

According to 02Pilot, it is caused by ring flutter on deceleration.

The solution posted here looks like the way I want to go. Thanks for the link!
It would be more ideal because it can utilize the factory system without having to spend time installing a catch can and subsequently having to empty it every so often.
Reading one of the comments blew my mind. The guy said he was using a quart every 1000km... That is an unbelievable amount, and is similar to what I was consuming. He said it completely resolved his consumption issue, and said 3 others reported the same results!
