With my prior M3 and Mini Cooper S, even with my semi-aggressive engine use I usually could go at least 12,000 miles before the maintenance light would come on (BMWs and Minis have a special set of warnings for recommended oil changes, please don't confuse this with the check engine light).

Just a thought...

I was under the impression BMW gets synthetic hence the longer change. The light goes off usually at 12000 miles as you've mentioned. For regular oil like ester, 3750 miles is recommended.
