N54 service requirements
My car is fully 6 years old now. It's stock, runs fine and I've keep it looking in almost show room condition and the car has accumulated 33,000 miles now. Engine servicing in that time has been mostly just oil changes. Nothing outside routine maintenance with the mileage and time.
What I'm wondering is what other servicing should be planning to do after 6 years and 40,000 miles.

Good to oil the hinges of the hard top mechanism.

I replaced mine at 30k miles. It holds just under 2 liters anyway. Such a small investment. I probably won't change it again until 80k miles. Cleaned out the original fluid/metal residue.

What's the access like on the diff plugs? Does the rear end need to be up on jack stand or can I get to the drain/ fill plugs by rolling car back to the edge of my sloped driveway?

First of all, there's no drain plug. And you have to get it up on jacks stands so the car is level.

You need to get a suction gun to draw out the fluid. It takes about 1 qt. of 75W-90. Then use a pump the screws onto the fresh oil bottle and refill until the oil starts to drip out the hole.
