do you find the carbon filter on the AC is worth installing? i was going to replace the pollen filter but not sure about the carbon
on a diesel would you replace the glow plugs on a service just as u would spark plugs on a petrol?

Coolant has varied between 4 years and lifetime by BMW recommendations. I would do it every four years myself.
Brake fluid should absolutely be done every two years. Saves money down the road from seized calipers, etc.
I would use the activated carbon microfilter.
I haven't had to deal with glow plugs, but I wouldn't change them unless a code indicated it was necessary, or I had a cold start issue.
