I still don't quite understand why you used loctite blue (sorry I am not familiar with it) for torquing purpose. If I am not wrong, loctite blue is a kind of sealant applied on screw threads to prevent it from possible leaking. So loctite blue doesn't really help you torque the screws to 7 ft-lbs. Is this correct?

No, locttite blue is not a sealant. Loctite Blue is a "threadlock" to prevent nuts and bolts from loosening.

So i had a local shop (very BMW savy) replace my tranny fluid and filter figuring i was being pro-active with all new BMW fluids and parts. They said it was a good idea since liftime means 100k and my X5 is at 110,000. Let me note that i had ***ABSOLUTELY NO*** problems/symptoms what so ever. 2 days later and $500 closer to the poor house in less than 50mi. the transmission failed on the HWY & now needs a new tranny or a full rebuild quoted at around $5,000 by the same shop...BMW=Break My Wallet//the Ultimate Fixing Machine

I would have NEVER recommended changing 100% of the fluid over 100k miles, that was poor judgment of the shop. To be honest, I wouldn't recommend changing any of the fluid past 100k miles. If you're going to ever change the tranny fluid, I would recommend changing it early and frequently and only about 50% each time.
