Manual transmissions and differentials have been "lifetime fill" for years and years already, and in almost any brand and kind of car, even on the cheaper ones. I'm almost 30 now, and I was still a kid the last time I helped my father, which is (was) a mechanical, to change the lubricant of a car (I still did a lot of changes on heavy trucks), just to have an idea of how long it was.

If you really feel like changing them, you should do it around 250.000km or something. Then maybe the oil is already wasted. Before that it's just a waste of money and time.

If you really really do feel like it, please make sure you get the original and approved brand from BMW and the correct amount of litres. If you do miss the quantity, then you risk breaking something due to lack of lubrication, or too much pressure.
