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.
And it's not just the metal parts. Oil degrades over time, going through all those heat cycles.
