I still maintain 5k - 7500 miles is about perfect in terms of an interval. 10000 is too long for an oil change by my standards. Especially since, as others have mentioned, most of us who live in cities expose our X5's (and other vehicles) to what is considered a fairly harsh driving cycle.
If it feels good, then it is a good interval for you. I would just point out that there isn't any evidence that it is doing anything to extend the life of your vehicle.
