Maintenance question

I need to take my 550 in for 30k service in the next couple of weeks which is covered by the warranty, but of course I'm already starting to get the up sale emails. Any opinions if these are necessary?

Fuel System Service
Wheel Alignment Service
Steering Service

Hmm, I've never been upsold on paid services while under warranty (2013 model). I only paid for an alignment when my front tires were wearing fast and Michelin said it was due to alignment.

Fuel system is hogwash.

Wheel alignments should be done annually IMO, or whenever the car develops a pull or irregular tire wear is observed.

I assume that's to mean power steering, and a fluid flush, which should be done bi-annually or when the fluid looks contaminated.
