It seems that oil change for the Bimmer is between 10k-15k miles depending on the driving style. Even though the newer cars have a lot of electronics, mechanical parts do exist and are responsible for the physical movement of the car. I just cannot make peace and allow myself to destroy the engine by changing the oil every 10k+ miles. I know i'm paranoic about this and usually do end up changing the oil sooner than most people but I just cannot accept changing it at more than 10k miles regardless of what synthetic oil they put in.
Does anyone have any comments on this topic?

I would do it at half the suggested and before I take long trips. I drive a lot. Not locally since work only 2 miles away. I like to take trips like Colorado mountains Utah etc
But I do my own work. So lot cheaper than taking to get serviced. Myself doing it cost like <$90 dealer >$150 some areas like $200
