Briefly from the book ( since book covers a few other models, hopefully not mixing any inapplicable instructions)

The VEHICLE STATUS in the iDrive display is your main info portal.

The CBS system is the determiner for when you need maintenance service intervals.

The BMW list for high-performance oils is highly or a best revommendation for which oils to use and you should chk oil levels at each fuel fill-up.

Brake Fluid
Air Cleaner
Oxygen Sensor
Spark Plugs
Ventilation micro filter : are based in combination of CBS system, time from production, stated mileage.

Coolant only need be replaced during system repairs it's long-term rated.
The UNDERBODY has to be cleaned once a year in Spring with plain water.
They also discuss battery charge for shirt distance/duration drivers.

Air filter changed every fifth service
Spark plugs 60k miles
Oxygen Sensor 150k miles

The book has in/depth instructions on brakes and vehicle checks

I personally will use a traditional fluid change replacement method but all the major components and maintenance are in this booklet
