Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
I've always been told once you see the hoses starting to turn brown from aged rubber it is a good time to replace them - Mine are about 7-8 years old and I may do them again proactively, along with the tank, and maybe the water pump and pulley (will go with EMP Stewart pump and OEM pulley)

If you want replace them proactively, I would say 100k miles would be good time because I do see horror stories on hose bursting on e46fanatics.
Having said that, at 100k, if you don't have previous maintenance records, I would do whole cooling system refresh including water pump, thermostat, expansion tank, hoses.
