67k Change AT Fluid?

I know BMW likes to believe it is okay for you to have the same tranny fluid in your car for the life of your car however i think my life expectancy and there life expectancy of the car are two totally different time frames so when should i change this fluid and what kind of tranny fluid does it require??

My independent shop recommends 30K intervals for tranny, PS fluid, anti-freeze and rear diff. Also induction cleaning every 30K.
I have a 6MT but just had all the above fluids changed for the first time at 63K. I'll get the indiuction cleaned next year, as the dealer did it at 43K under warranty. If you plan on keeping the car long term, do it now.
