How often should I change filters?

I've just had an oil/filter service on my recently purchased 4 year old 27,000 mile E93. What frequency of oil & filter change would you recommend in the future?

The car will do about 8,000 miles p.a. with quite a lot of short runs interspersed with motorway driving.
