- Transmission Fluid
- Brake Fluid replaced
- Fuel Injection Service
All of this is apparently $3,000! So $500 for each
Can someone tell me if I actually have to get this maintenance done or if I do, then is it better to do it myself and how easy the DIY is.
So far there is 44k miles on it with only regular maintenance and oil changes. Replaced tires last year but that's it.

Not that I recommend this, but other than the brake fluid, all fluids are "lifetime" fluids according to the BMW. I've replaced front & rear diff, transfer case, power steering fluids and did transmission service at 84K miles. Brake fluid service was performed at around 45K first time. So you are definitely early to replace fluids other than possibly brake fluid. I think 70K-80K miles is good time to replace all fluids.
