I have a 2011 M3 w/35k miles on it. I had annual oil changes done at the dealer under warranty. If the dealer thinks it is a minimum requirement, I like to think of it as a maximum requirement. These are the folks that gave us 15k oil changes after all...

My wife's 2002 M3 got 3k miles on it last year. It got an annual oil/filter change.

It's worth it in my opinion, but I do all my own work.
