what maintenance should be done at 30K miles?

[ScheerSpeed]

my uncle's M3 is nearing 30,000 miles and he does all his maintenance himself. what is done at the dealer for the 30,000 mile service?

dont reply " its free just take it in" because he does not like anyone else working on his car.

Sounds like me . It's spelled out in the manual, and it's also going to depend what he has done so far. But basically it calls for engine, tranny, and differential oil changes, and engine & A/C air filter changes. Brake/clutch fluid is every 2 years. I'd do a coolant change too. Other than that, check brake pads, hoses, belts, CV/steering boots, etc.

The trans fluid is recommended only for 6MT I believe. Not that I really believe the lifetime fill crap on the DCT, but nevertheless.....

Other than previously mentioned, I had my pads and rotors replaced, though it took a considerable amount of negotiating to get this done.

How come? Was it a question of whether they still had life in them?

This is all correct according to the TSB, however spark plugs are a 37,000 mile replacement item as well.
