LeiZ is on a distinguished road
I would assume nothing has been done by the PO, since 1) BMW claims it lifetime fluid, which is BS. 2) it's sold at just passed 100K, which due for a major maintenance job. If I'm the PO, I'd keep it for another 2~3 yrs if throw in a major maintenance job. Just my $.02.

To be 100% safe, follow what mgbmwx5, and the shop procedure.
