Auto tranny and diff oil change?

I have a 06 325 with about 35k on the clock. I was wondering if and when you should change both oils?? I've looked for some kind oof interval chart but to no luck didnt find any. Since they are both "lifetime" haha dont believe in that bullsh*t. Any options?? thanks

According to ZF Sales and Service North America:

http://zfsixspeed.com/faq.html

Q: When should I replace the filter and fluid in my ZF 6HP transmission?

A: It is recommended that you change the transmission filter and oil:
- at 10 years / 120,000 miles.
- if your transmission has been exposed to water.
- if your radiator has overheated.

Yes, all E90 325i/330i with an automatic transmission have a ZF 6HP19.
SIB 24 09 00 lists the various applications:

Diff fluid is lifetime and disposable (~$1.8k to replace).

You could use an extractor, but you're not going to get it all out.
