Okay, so its a flush and replace. Didn't know it was listed in owners manual. I got my M awhile back and it's not my DD, so I haven't spent too much quality time with it. So are most of these routine services listed in the owners manual?
Thanks guys

I don't remember if it's the owner's manual or service manual, but the portfolio on the trunk has a bunch of booklets. One of them talks about the service intervals. If you don't have it, you can log into your BMW account and download the manuals.
Routine service is largely handled by the CBS (condition based service/iDrive display), such as engine oil, brake fluid, vehicle inspection, etc. There are a few that are not, for whatever reason, like the differential fluid being changed every 3rd oil change or spark plugs. Also, the CBS doesn't give specifics for some services, such as the air filter needing to be changed with the oil. I think the assumption is that you'd take the car to the dealer every time, which would mean they'd take care of the whole shebang.
When in doubt, consult the service/owners manuals. Many of us opt to be a bit stricter with maintenance and get some things done more often, like oil changes every 7500 instead of 15000.
