I think that the BMW dealer these days is recommending 15,000 mile oil change intervals, or something similar. However, I'm not a fan of that - I still recommend changing your oil every 3000-5000 (max) miles. The oil doesn't really break down any more (newer formulations are quite good), but the oil does get contaminated over time with coolant and fuel. Those contaminants can indeed damage your engine if left in there for an extended period of time.
