You definitely dont NEED to do the tranny fluid now. Some people wait until 80-100K miles. Ideally, you only want to do it once. The tranny oil alone will cost you between $150-200 at the dealership.Add the tranny pan and labour, its not unusual to see this as a $500 job.
My indie says that's a no no.:thumbdwn: Many places will do anything you ask so long as they are paid to do so. There is a reason that BMW says 100k miles for this.
I can't get into the details but there Yorgi has commented on this before. This in one area where you can cause issues where you had none.
