Fluid Intervals
At what mileage or time do you all recommend changing the transmission fluid, differential fluid and clutch fluid? I've seen some guys on here changing these at less than 5k miles. I have a 2016 M7 with 24,000 miles, no track time.

I'm doing my diff fluid this spring, along with my plugs and a green belt, my 16 has just under 20k miles. I'm debating on doing my trans fluid though. Some people said there's no need, some people said it's cheap insurance. Changing my battery too.

I do all the fluids every 5k miles...except the clutch, as the clutch requires removal of the CATs to get to the bleeder, and the ELDS, which requires special tools I don't have.
The only fluid that regularly runs dirty seems to be the differential.
