I've seen a bit of discussion on this topic as the cars get older. Here is my general maint. plan:

YMMV - this is just what I use, not official BMW.

Gangplanks Maint Sched:
Oil: 0w-40 or 5w-40 (LL-01)
Oil change: every 5-7,500 mi. (BMW says 15k or annually but oil is cheap & engines are expensive)
Cabin air filter: 1-2 yr / 15k mi
Air filter: 2 yrs / 30k mi.
Brake fluid: 2 yrs / 30k mi.
Power steering fluid: 2 yrs / 30k mi
Coolant flush: 3 yrs / 36k mi.
Spark plugs: n54 or n55 w/ PPK @ 45k mi. or n55 @ 60k
Differential/DCT/trans fluid: 60k mi.
Water pump, tstat, rad. cap: 6 yrs / 60k
Belts/hoses: as needed or 100k mi. (Typically will get done before this along with the OFHG which is notorious for leaks)
Fuel filter: 100k (in fuel tank)?
02 Sensors: 120k?
