Also subscribed, my 2013 328i is coming up on 90k miles.. Besides the obvious ie : oil change / tires / brakes / air filter / cabin filter I just did the following :
Serp belt + Tensioner ( did at 80k ) Spark Plugs ( every 30k ) Trans Fluid Change ( Manual Trans first time at 80k ) Brake Fluid Flush ( last one at 50k ) Can you guys think of anyhting else that should be done? My thermostat died 2 months ago ( TSB ) dealer replaced it plus the coolant..... When should we replace the rear diff fluid? I know it lasts a long time... Want this car to last and it stinks there isnt an easy .pdf to follow like my wifes Passat has. Car runs perfect just looking to make sure im not missing anyhting.

I would recommend changing HVAC refrigerant fluid as it will degrade over time and will destroy the HVAC compressor. symptom commonly called " black death "
Learned this the hard way @ 90K miles

I don't know about the pump, but for me personally, I plan to eventually change the guides on mine. Mine is a 2015 model manufactured in October of 2014. I haven't read about 2015's being affected, but I don't plan on being one of the first.

BTW the coolant thermostat recall only replaced 1 liter of lost coolant, so it is not a drain + fill nor a flush. |

They recommend an oil change every 80k - 120k kilometres. Looking at the manual , I can SAFELY say that my mechanic DID NOT FOLLOW the bolting pattern ! Additionally if you have a transmission oil cooler - fill up an extra 0.5 L. Thanks to @IraHayes as well. Last edited by marcozen; 08-16-2018 at 02:15 AM..

His claim is in NorCal mild, dry weather, coolant and brake fluid do not go bad, and his routine is regular probe reading for water% in brake fluid, and pH in coolant. Dude if that works I will do the same, could have saved me $$$$$ over the years .... |

Only what you see posted above, Waiting myself to see if anyone else chimes in on Maint they have done or I may have missed.. Cars running great also outside of the oil pump whine that it appears N20's have a 50% chance of developing when the oil is cold ( warm it goes away ).
