My suggestion: if you plan on keeping the car, I'd replace the front bevel gear/angle gear fluid and the Haldex fluid. These are not recommended by the factory, but really their biggest concern is getting the cars through the warranty period.

It's crazy to me that there's no recommendation for the Haldex fluid. I've seen plenty of VW's with the pump pulled at 30K and the screen is almost entirely blocked.

You can find some info here: https://f48.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1683735

I also did 3 drain/fills of the transmission fluid, and I'll probably do a single drain and fill every 15-20K going forward.
