If you do have the transmission serviced, find an independent mechanic that specializes in European cars. There is a specific process for the BMW/ZF trans that requires having the transmission pan 100% level, filling and heating up etc... I paid a local indy 400 and change to do the service and that included all parts, labor and fluid. Made a world of difference in the way my trans shifted.
People on here will tell you not to service the trans, other people will tell you it's ok. The BMW owner's manual I have specifies transmission service every 100K miles. So I choose to follow that.
