The car went in for its big service last week, it had just ticked over 67k and was due filters, fluids, plugs and also its MOT. Although not an official BMW service item I had the gearbox service carried out at the same time. BMW claim its sealed for life but ZF recommend servicing the gearbox around about the 60 - 65k mark I believe. The car has been running nice, no noticeable issues with the gear changes or anything, but I want to keep it that way and I'd rather keep everything fresh rather than wait for it to start playing up before changing the oil.
I took it to a local independent for the work, he's ex BMW and has carried out all of my servicing since the service plan I got with the car ended (using genuine parts). The car gets an annual oil change as a minimum when it goes in for its MOT.
A few pictures he sent me of the gearbox service, hopefully that's it good for at least another 6 years/65k miles!
