I am interested in the answer to this question also. My 2008 E90 has 50K miles on it. Wondering what I need to do as far as fluids. I would prefer to do them myself if possible.

Brake fluids = 2 yrs
Radiator fluids = 4 yrs
Power steering = 100K
Rear diff = 100K
ATF = lifetime, bmw. I changed my @ 87K, cause I plan to keep over 100K miles. dealer changed for me or DIY if you could.

how much did you pay for for ATF change?

dealer followed my direction instead of them.

I told them just to drain out as much as possible, 2 quarts left in torque converter, filled, new pan, gasket, set of bolts, mechanic sleeve = $610 out of the door.

Actually ATF is not lifetime. Check your warranty booklet, it states 100,000 miles. I know, the pan states lifetime, looks like BMW changed their mind.
