I'm cautious with my 35d, too. I'm sticking with a change interval of 5k. I wouldn't exceed 7.5k let alone go to 10k, it's just cheap insurance.
If I think the oil temp is high I will confirm it using the "hidden dashboard" which shows realtime values. Even with higher than normal coolant temps the oil temp hasn't exceeded 120C. The BMW synthetic oil as well as SHELL ROTELLA T6 easily can handle these temperatures. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if the factory fill as well as the bottle you buy in the dealer parts department are T6.
