I have not had the opportunity to play with the innards of a BMW engine, but have been inside a good number of Corvette engines (Mobile 1 factory fill) driven by truly aggressive drivers. At 30-40K miles, with perhaps two oil changes, they look completely new - clean, no wear to speak of.
But I wouldn't hesitate to change oil earlier/more often and do so.
If you think there may be harm to the oil filler plug, etc. through an oil change you need to find another dealer - or <gasp> do this simple, quick task yourself.
It is odd this trivial issue engenders such discussion, strong opinions and controversy.
