I get gearbox and center diff fluids as well... but again, 80k miles or more. Having had a couple of these X5s and an X3. The only issue I had was a first gen X3 center diff wearing out the plastic gear.
Just like all fluids in your vehicles, there not lifetime fluids. They all need to be changed at some point. The intercooler fluids is the same as your engine coolant, I change mine every four years.

As yourself this, why would you change your engine coolant and not your charge air fluids. I know the the charge air is a closed loop system, but no fluid last forever.
