The basic numbers for current F25 X3 engines are


Oil Service ever 30,000km (18,641 miles) ( System will change this slightly depending on driving conditions)

Microfilter is changed every oil service

Engine air filter is changed every 2nd oil service ( 3rd in some countries)

Spark plugs every 2nd oil service

Fuel filter ever 2nd oil service

Vehicle check every 5 years


Brake fluid now usually 3 years for first change, then every 2 years
Coolant is "lifetime" for most models now.
Below is the response I received from my local BMW dealer regarding the micro filter:

The micro-filter gets replaced approx. every 2 years with the brake fluid flush on your vehicle. Yours should be due the next time you come in for service.

Subject: Question regarding maintenance for 2012 X3



Hi


I have had the oil changed twice so far under the 4 year free maintenance. I do not think you have ever changed the Heating/AC filter. Isn't that supposed to be changed every year?



Thanks
