There is no free change at 30k. There is an "Inspection" which does not include any fluid changes. Although it may coincide with a scheduled oil (CBS or annually) or brake fluid (every 2 years) change, the Inspection service is mainly scope and visual checks.
As all other fluids are considered "lifetime" by BMW, any change will not be paid for by BMW under covered maintenance.
To get back to the thread topic, personally, I change oil at 8~10,000, transmission & differential fluid at 50~60,000, coolant every 4 years, and power steering fluid when a leak needs to be repaired. Romak, you need to decide for yourself what to do, after all it's your car, isn't it?
