I am a bit boggled by the "just for break fluid" sentiment.

Getting mine done as I type this. They are also going to do the in-cabin filters and any software updates that are pending. Its worth getting it done as the brake fluid needs to be replaced after two years, plus its free. What's the issue?

Changing BRAKE fluid is based on time, not miles. Maximum of two years

Don't see it as a big deal to wait, but I would change it out as soon as possible if it were my M5.
