DCT Service Required?

All,

Have a M6 GC w/ 58k and looking into getting the DCT fluid/filter changed. Dealer have me the "lifetime oil" speech and a Indy wants to charge quite a bit. Will have DP's and a flash tune shortly (expecting 650whp +/-)

My questions:
(1): How necessary would you all say that a service is, at my mileage knowing that I use this as a daily.
(2): Any knowledge on how many higher mileage cars on here (>50k) have NOT done the service? Any negative impact on clutch longevity.

Below is what was quoted from the Indy FYI:
"Fluid = $380.00
Filter = $88
Filter = $216
Bolt set = $75
Labor = $485"

Getting mine done this Friday by my trusted Indy at AR Auto Adrenaline Racing just outside of Portland, OR. It is recommended every 30k miles. I purchased the car at 44k miles and this is I believe the first time it's being done on this car. I'm at 62k mi now.

Breakdown of DCT service from my Indy.
Labor $252
Motul DCT Trans Fluid $262.52
AT Filter $112.59
Screw $68.04
AT Oil Pan $216.32

Total $911.38

I'm also having the rear diff service done too.

Hope this helps.

Let me know how it went please! I'm at 60k and the Indy made me nervous that it might be dangerous at my mileage.

Did everything turn out ok? Notice any difference in shifts or smoothness?

Is a new transmission oil pan required when doing the DCT fluid service? I would like to have the fluid changed on my 30k mile M5.

Its recommend as they are plastic and can warp.
