What do you think the oil change interval on my turbo charged Mini with full synthetic oil should be? If I go by the oil change reminder light, it will be 10,000 to 12,000 miles. This seems too high to me

If it seems to long to go without an oil change then just pick a number that makes you comfortable . My car also says 10000 miles or one year but I will use 7000 or one year which ever comes first.
