328d LCI Scheduled Maintenance?

I have looked high and low for the maintenance schedule for my car, to no avail.

At what mileage do I have to change:

-engine air filter
-fuel filter
-glow plugs
-brake flush
-engine coolant flush
-transmission, X-fer case and dif fluid/filter

It's in your user manual, at least it was for me. Transmission is 60k mi per ZF, and transfer case and diff aren't in the manual ("lifetime" fluids), but I've seen numbers from 30-60k miles recommended.

Fuel filter is supposed to be every other oil change (dealer)
Brake flush is 3 years (dealer)
Tranny and diff recommended at 60k (not dealer)
Xfer case replace fluid when (not if) it failes.

You haven't looked far enough. Search for "condition based service", which is the computer keeping track of maintenance intervals. It's generally *not* predicated upon miles or years, as in the old days.

Coolant flush is never done - lifetime - but many people choose 2-3 years.
As mentioned, fuel filter is every third oil change. Oil change is nominally 13K miles.
Brake flush is every 3 years (was 2 years for E9x).
Tranny etc is 100K miles, but IMHO 60K miles is more reasonable.

My manual says fuel filter is done every 4th oil change, not every other. If this has changed from model year to model year, then OP really needs to read his manual!
