Exactly, I figure a 4k change is way better.
I drained the last of our M1 oil out of the '83SD yesterday, it had 4,900 on the oil and it wasn't as thick as when I drained mine at the same miles....maybe my engine makes more soot. Either way, its also on Rotella Syn + 4k change now. So now all our cars are on the same oil. If we buy the 240d we've been looking at....that one will be changed over to it as well.
