Don't get caught up with the BS BMW labels on their service... "Inspection I", "II", etc. The important thing is the underlying fluid changes.

Have you ever had the coolant flushed? It is good for 4 years.

Brake fluid? Every two years.

Oil? Every year or 7500-10k miles. I do not believe in the stupidly long BMW intervals of 15k+ miles. You are at 15k on that oil, and it is two years old. I am sure it is barely adequate.

How about tranny fluid? Your mains dealer prolly says 'never'. I say every 30-40k miles. Unless you are cool with replacing the tranny every 125k miles.
