I'd say 5 - 7k on synthetic is fine. I will be doing it every 3k though. My thoughts is that it is cheap peace of mind and certainly can't hurt. Oil is your cars blood ..
On as side note .. I wouldn't listen to all manufacturers recommendations ... my 135i .. turbo 3.0L which also uses the oil for the turbo as well.. the recommend every 15k .. LOL ... That might be fine for someone who has a lot of money or doesn't want to keep the car (poor bastard whoever does get it used though) ... I think some people have tested their oil and seems like 7k is good but don't push it past that (with synthetics) ..
