Get a pump put in the trunk. You can change with very basic tools (I even have thumb screw hose clamps). The BMW tool kit with the spare will include a 10mm and in emergency a tire iron and a rock will remove the tank top ring. I would still not replace at an arbitrary age or miles though 150 k miles would be an ok choice for somebody wanting to do so.
