BMW also says it's a lifetime fluid.
It can be changed, but it's a messy endeavor, at least on the E70 it was. It's not exactly a drain then plug situation as I don't think a drain plug exists, and requires your dropping the pan and then installing a new gasket IIRC.
when confronted with this, most people would either opt to not change it, or pay an indie to change it.
