Valve adjustment on the N54??

Mike Miller from Roundel recommends the "old school maintenance" and the tranny and diff fluids are changed at 30K miles.

No valve adjustments required on anynon-m BMW made since oh..IIRC 1998.

Brake Fluid is ~ 2yrs/24k miles.

Differential changes are up in the air. It was suspected that the rear diff is cheaper to replace at some point over 100k miles instead of doing fluid changes every 30k miles.
