If you have BMW Connect active your cell phone has the mileage or dates when all recommended service is due. I do agree that lifetime fluids are a joke. Once every two or three year to change the “lifetime fluids” is good. Note that the coolant fluid is never mentioned. 2-3 years is good for that fluid change also.
The car doesn't say when to service things like diff fluid, or transmission fluids etc which is concerning. So I guess I'll have to make up my own intervals lol. I wonder if ISTA has anything to say about this stuff.

No 15k Is way too much synthetic or not, the whole reason why bmw engines fail so soon is because of the infrequent oil changes, especially when driven hard.
