Show me a link to the study that shows less or equal wear from extended OCIs and I'll believe you. Common sense says cleaner oil works better.

^^+1. It's the same over here in Germany where you pay for service. My BMW Zentrum told me the same thing. For a lease car or average person, BMW says once every 24 months or 22K kms I think. My SA said he would suggest to change the oil at least once per year. Preferably twice per year. You have to realized a simple oil change runs upwards of 300 to 400 euros(at the dealer) over here.
With engine oil cheap in the states and the very hot temps you see there in the summertime, I would change my oil often. The more often the better.
