I've done the oil change. I like the filter placement; makes life easy.
But I'm calling BS on coolant and trans fluid changes. This is AGAIN a Rube Goldberg machine according to the DIY guides.

Do you really find having to pump in new transmission fluid underneath the car with a transfer pump as easy?

Coolant change? Again, not easy. (How many tools are listed just to change the coolant?)
These are fairly simple tasks that can be done with easily on most cars. Not so with BMW.
And don't get me started on lifetime fluids; that's a sure way to kill a car in under 200K miles. But I think that's their plan...
