I have an m340i and I would recommend you change the oil every 5000 miles.
I had to add oil at qboit 4200 miles and many others have had to do the same. This turbos really like oil.
When I first got the car the intervals on the dash said 10k and then it updated to 8k.
I still think that's not often enough and you'll be running low on oil long before.
I drive my car fairly hard. And lightly for long trims. Maybe if you completely baby the car and never floor it you can do longer intervals.
