Almost sounds like they only do gearbox / rear diff fluids by mileage and not by time, and it's like 3 oil changes before they will do a gearbox. Sounds like I will be running into the same issue if I ask for a gearbox fluid change. My believe is any fluid has a life time but since BMW is paying for these, they see no reason to change fluid based on time before the warranty coverage ends. The biggest issue I have is how expensive the fluid is and the quantity they come in - gearbox needs about 1.25L but you can only get 1L bottles or big tank (can't remember how big but it's probably like 20L or something).
