Hello,

Your car has condition based service. It will tell you what service is due and when. Go to the vehicle status menu, scroll down to the service menu and look for yourself.

Thanks---my car's iDrive only gives reminders for oil and brake pads, etc.
I was looking for more heavy duty things such as steering fluid, tranny flush spark plugs, brake fluid, timing chain, etc...

There is no schedule for trans, if you did do it I would do it at 60k. Spark plugs I think are replaced at 60k. Steering fluid has no change schedule do at 60k? Brake fluid every 2 years. Oil changes every 5,000 miles. Forget timing chain. Diff oil has no change schedule, 60k? Air filter probably 60k. The oil change intervals on the idrive are way to long for any engine, plus your engine is turbo charged, so the oil running thru the turbo bearings has to put up with a lot more heat. Coolant Chang every 4 years?
RWD F10's don't have steering fluid, it is electronic power steering. Unless you're AWD, in which case its CHF11S and due every 2-4yrs but more tied to physical condition and color.
Transmission service is due every 80k per ZF (BMW says lifetime) Typically 100k is the service interval. Differential(s) and transfer cases should be serviced every 100k as well.
Spark plugs on N52 are due every 100k, and every 65k on N55.
Brake fluid is every 2 years or when moisture content exceeds 2%
Coolant is due every 4yrs, but it will probably be refreshed more frequently due to regular service and or failures that spill coolant.
Timing chain lasts the life of the engine, in which case it doesn't you replace whats left of the engine.
