I used Mobil 1 ATF since my cap says ATF, if yours does too and you already have synthetic ATF, just use that.
Although, I don't recommend using anything with stop leak in it if you aren't exhibiting leaking symptoms because the additives cause seals to swell and could cause potentially other problems down the line. A quart of Mobil 1 ATF is like 8 bucks and that should be plenty to exchange the fluid in the reservoir 4-5 times.
You already did plugs, cabin filter, etc, JCL made a good point to flush brake fluid.
If you are doing coolant flush buy BMW coolant (1 gal) and mix 1 gal of distilled water. That will give you 2 gallons of coolant, should be enough to flush the system.
If you aren't exhibiting wear/symptoms of worn suspension components that is good, but be sure to check the thrust arms up front and visually get under the car and check for wear on ball joints etc, you said you were going for an alignment and it would suck to pay $150 for an alignment then 2 months later find out you have a shot control arm and have to replace and redo them.
Other than that, checking belts for wear and tensioners for noise is a good thing, I'd say fuel filter but your mileage is low, probably could wait till 100k, and you probably always run good gas in it. A can of Techron in the tank would probably do you well.
You take good care of your iS and it shows, other than all the above just drive her and enjoy her!
