If you want a TRUE list of maintenance advice based on mileage from the mouth of a BMW mechanic since the late 90's, feel free to TEXT (I hate talking on the phone, I'd rather be in person) me at 206-679-7149.
James, you should make a new post, and give us all this list. I am sure it will help more than just one person. I for one would like to see whats on it.
