A vast majority of the late model eurocars have a 10k mile interval. Some techs (like Pat Goss, who I don't like) says there's no way that's good for a car but he conceeds that people don't keep cars long enough these days for it to catch up to them. Both my E36 and B5 had/have 10k mile service intervals.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
