If keeping the car I would definitely change the diff oil at 50K (easy job) and perhaps the transmission, especially the auto (but you need to follow the correct instructions and use the correct oil which is very very expensive)!! Lots of people suffering from cracked transmisson pans at x years, as they are made of plastic, and is across the model range.
Lifetime all as far as BMW are concerned is 100K but you have to put a gun to their heads to get them to admit it !!!!! No such thing as lifetime oil
