MY 330i will be going in for a change in March ish as at the back of the box there is a plug which is leaking (a small amount of) oil and this is apparently quite a common but can only be fixed with the filter removed.

The filter is part of the sump, which is plastic and tends to warp with the heat and eventually leak. It is recommended to change the sump at the same time as the oil change.
PS: BMW also tell you that you never need to change the oil on this 'box and that it is a lifetime unit. I would question what BMW tell you...
