Question: Do shorter oil intervals actually make sense for my use?

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2025 BMW M3 in Nationwide, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. Then you'll know the next fork. On “do shorter oil intervals actually make sense,” that was the fork that mattered for me. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. If your situation is the opposite, ignore me. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2025 BMW M3 before a big repair or a big spend. I'd do that before spending real money. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. I'll update if anything new shows up.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2025 BMW M3, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. That's where I'd start. Time, temperature, and whether it's in gear are the notes that actually help a shop. If the story changes I'll post the new data.

This is from a 2025 BMW M3 in Nationwide with 22,000 miles. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' Doing the boring step first on purpose.
