I have designed a serviceplan based on experience from SAAB:
-engine oil once a year - a bit over the top, but feels good.
-oilfilter every second year
-sparkplugs - check/adjust every year
-engine airfilter - change every forth year- no heavy industries nearby
-cabin airfilter - " "
-brakefluid - change every fourth year
-AUTO- change oil every fourth year
I do not plan to change coolant, transmission oil nor servofluid.
I am open for improvements based on experience from BMW.
I will NOT service at BMW dealer after free maintanence is out. (3 years)

If you're planning on keeping the car for 10 years why would you not change some of these fluids out around the 50k mark.
Lifetime to BMW means about 100,000 miles (which is the maximum coverage of an extended warranty).
