So my car just hit 90k

sad day i know. anyways im getting ready to go to med school here in the fall and i dont want to have to worry about doing any maintenance after that starts. so i was wondering what you guys recommend i check out and or replace. the rotors and pads were done around 15k miles ago, and the oil is due up in around 5k miles. What im thinking about is like spark plugs, tranny, rear end fluids, fuel filter, air filters, cabin filter even? etc. what all am i forgetting? any advice would be great, i havent ever had a car long enough to do major maintenance lol. if it helps its a cpo car so it was inspected by bmw at 60k. Thanks in advance!

Electric water pump can go out at any time, or it may last another three rears - mean time before failure appears to me to be right around 100K miles, which is when mine went out. The pump and thermostat are a sound preventative maintenance repair but they will run about $1K plus at an independent. When the serpentine belt is replaced, consider the idler pulley if it has never been changed.
