I change them as per Old School Maintenance every 30K on the diff and manual tranny. If you're a DCTer, your'e good till 60K. There's no point in debating this. You do what you feel comfortable with. No one is going to convince me that moving metal parts don't need periodic maintenance - more so than what BMW says.
Now, if you're not keeping the car, it doesn't matter. Sell it at 100K and it'll be running fine with the minimum care. But if your planning to keep it for a long time, spend a few dollars and change the drivetrain fluids.
