My previous M Coupe managed to get 143k trouble free miles with quite a few track miles before I sold it and only had the recommended oil changes done, which are based on fuel consumption, not fixed mileage presets. I never ran that car hard on cold oil and never had any issues with it, including a few clean Blackstone Labs reports.

You can revert to old school maintenance if you really don't like your money or suspect that BMW is really out to screw folks over, but it's been shown by many of our personal experiences that you don't need to. Whatever makes you comfortable, ultimately it's a small expense if you do decide to increase your service frequencies.
