Advice on "mid-term" oil filter change

Dear All
as we know service intervals on E92 M3 are 15k miles.
I bought mine last year in April and do 6-7 k miles per year so it will be April 2012 when the next service is due.
With my previous E46 328 Ci with similar miles per year and service intervals, I used to religiously get an oil filter change every year at not an extravagant cost.
I wondered what the advice is on the M3
Is it a good idea for a mid-term oil filter change esp if one's service is not due for 2 years
I enquired from Knights BMW in Stoke and they have offered to do this for £200, major cost being replacement of the oil (18 litres of high performance stuff). Filter and labour aren't much.

Appreciate any advice
thanks
