With modern transmissions and synthetic fluids there isn't a real benefit to changing trans fluid before 100K. Unless of course you are in insanely stop and go driving conditions or tow regularly.

the gang from the US uses "K" as in 1000 of something. Much of the rest of the world uses k as in a kilometer. Take your pick: some say do it at 50,000 miles, some say pushing it to a 100,000 miles is doable... your current 90,100 kilometers is ~56,000 miles. So, do it now if you like, or wait.

Agree with Sedoy that k isn't different than K, just that since the poster is from the GWN, we measure in km not in miles. MD is right in that 56,000 miles is very early to change transmission fluid, when it is a lifetime fluid anyway. Those that are talking 100,000 are talking miles, and so 160,000 km would be the local measure for that change.
Myself, I can't imagine changing transmission fluid at that mileage. Waste of time and money, not to mention depleting a non-renewable resource. Slightly off topic, but what the heck is a diffy? Is it like a biffy? Is it a differential equation? So many references recently to diffys, and trannys. Didn't know that this was a trans-gender site. We now resume regular programming. Save your money, and just drive your X5. There is no correlation between changing transmission fluid and longer transmission life.
