It is also good to flush your radiator once every two years. I will be doing mine this coming fall. BMW doesn't flush radiators, they call it lifetime fill.
Are you paying for tranny/rear diff? I just had my 30K, and the dealer didn't change these, although I've heard of other dealers changing out these fluids at 30K for their customers. My service rep told me that after break-in, these are lifetime fluids or 100K miles.
