I am at 106,000 miles. Had power steering flush, ATF and pan replaced (shoulda been done earlier), routine oil change, fuel filter, alignment. I get oil changes every 10k. AND COOLANT FLUSH.

you can buy your own parts at tischer bmw if you like. Mike is the manager. Great service. Call and ask what the 65k "service" involves and costs vs stealership. Tell him you are a diesel.

I would consider having the transmission oil changed, along with the diff (BMW says 100K, but IMO better at 60K.) Also, check when brake fluid flushed (every two years - the computer calls it out) and consider having the coolant changed (nothing calls that out.)

just did my 60k service at 55k, I did all the work myself, saved a ton of cash by buying all parts online with free shipping due to the holiday weekend sales, just waiting for a few more filters and she will be all done...

BMW coolant is rated long-term with no required replacement interval.
I'd consider doing it every 100k miles.

Thanks a ton for this information. I'm giving Mike a call today. Only downside with an Indy is no loaner....
