What maintenance services should be done by BMW rathet than an Indy shop?

Just curious which services should definitely be done by BMW rather than an indy shop?

Brake fluid? Transmission fluid? Differential fluid? Etc

Thanks

Only those that are pre-paid or under warranty.

I think you'd get a better alignment at a BMW franchised workshop than most places.

BMW alignment is a bit tricky, but a shop that specializes in German cars wouldn't have a problem. Most of those shops employ former BMW techs who moved on for better wages.
