But this one has me confused since the dealer says it needs changed and the manual says other.

Oh, boy!
If you do a search you will see a ton of conflicting information on the subject. Do I have the answer you want? Well, I would say it is a personal decision on whether or not to change it. I personally am long time BMW owner and believe in old school maintenance so I changed. Most of the Trannies are made by ZF or a GM sub and they recommend changes so why not in the BMW.
Search, research and decide for yourself. It could go either way.
Good luck,
