As for "lifetime fill" oils I change mine. Actually the X5 is having the transmission and differential fluids changed right now along with the N63 customer satisfaction service. My SA along with techs recommend changing these fluids. He called to give me an update and he said that the tech that performed the flush said the fluid needed changing. I do my oil changes every 7k and the diffs and trans at 40k increments.
At which dealership is your SA? I assume Patrick. I've been using Perillo, but would be interested in speaking with your SA to refute the recommendations of the Perillo SA...
