Fuel filter for X3 F25 diesel 2.0

Hi Mates,

Just got my 2014 X3 F25 diesel 2.0 with 75k kilometres recently, after I replace the
Engine oil
Engine oil filter (thanks for your help in my other post regarding O ring leaking)
Engine air filter
Cabine air filter

now I am looking for those 5 items
1, Fuel filter
2, Spark Plugs
3, coolant flush?
4, Transmission flush and fill or replace?
5, 4wd oil?

Given that my cars age about 3.5 years old and 75k kilometres,
1, am I missed any items need to looking after except 5 items I have listed above
2, any priority for those 5 items (if I do not miss something important) in following 6 months?
3, I only have normal car stands and jack at home, it seems like hard to do 3,4,5 by myself?

Please share any experiences, tricks, tips for those service items as I made a silly mistake on my oil filter O ring position recently, I do not trust myself now thanks for any input, have a good day!

DFFF: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=799059 is the fuel filter DIY (it's for the 335d/x5d but it's still the same for N47 AFAIK)

Diesels don't have spark plugs.

Coolant flush isn't needed - do it if you really want to.

Transmission probably not until 100K/60K miles

Transfer case and diffs with transmission

Thanks floydargers, do you mean I only need to worry about Transfer case and diffs with transmission at this stage?

I wouldn't worry about those until you get to 100K km.

Fuel filter is every 3 oil change intervals (on my 335d that's 13K miles/20K km), so every 35K miles or so (60K kim?). I think the newer N47 has a shorter recommended change.
