Obviously you haven't read the thread. According to BMWNA, you are correct, but for the rest of the world it is recommended at the break in service. Most North American 1M owners are changing the tranny fluid at 1,200 miles as a precaution. Will this service prolong the life of the tranny? No one really knows, but for peace of mind it isn't an expensive service and for some it is free.
