I guess that one of the big reason that BMW recommended 15K oil change is for marketing. They want to project a low maintenance cost vehical image instead of high maintenance cost car since every one was complainting how much to maintain a BMW. It is a no brainer that the oil filter will get much dirtier for a 15K versus 5K oil change interval even the sythentic oil will last for 15K.
