I am readily going to fork over the $130-150 for an oil change at 7-8k miles. Small drop in the bucket for something can only be good for your car's longevity. For me 15k miles is too long for a performance car to go before a an oil change even for the best synthetics.

I have Center BMW do it. One of the reasons that the oil change is soo expensive is because the M3 Synthetic oil is about $11.00 a quart and our tank holds 8 quarts, so it about $90 just in oil alone.
