Power steering fluid drain and flush and if you have Dynamic stability control, use CHF11 hydraulic fluid for steering flush.

Just bought a pre LCI 525i at 100,000kms and your list is exactly what I plan to do in the next couple of months for peace of mind. But I was told elsewhere that we should not change the Transmission oil/filter as it might harm the existing mechanical works. Common "don fix it if it aint broke" thingy. So now I am torn and not sure what to do.
By the way, are you looking at the coolant system as well like electric water pump, thermostat and tank expansion? These are critical since you wont be able to continue driving if they failed.
