You are correct. The "Old School" maintenance recommends trans fuild and filter on modern BMW's with "lifetime" fluid every 60,000 miles. Also, Mr. Miller did say that he has seen "too many times" where people perform a trans fluid/filter service on a higher mileage, but well shifting transmission, then all of a sudden it begins slipping. I do belienve he said he would take the risk though. He also equates it to the fresh fluid flushing a bit of sludge from an area where it was previously doing no harm.
