| Change your oil and oil filter with full synthetic every 5,000 miles.
Change your transmission and differential fluid every 30,000 miles, even if it says "lifetime" fluid---trust me, there's no such thing.
Change your brake fluid, power steering fluid, fuel filter, spark plugs, and coolant once a year or once every 30000 miles, whichever comes first.
Change your air filter, cabin filters, etc every 10000 miles.
Yes, this is probably more replacing than you absolutely need to do--but you bought a BMW, so take care of the damn thing.
