I do the same on my BMW - 5k max even though they say 7-10K (depending on model/year). It's probably because I had every 3k ingrained into me for most of the 80s and early 90s by my Dad.

I think I am going to do the clutch/differential/manual/brake fluids/grease immediately as the dealership won't give me the service history to protect the privacy of the previous owner. I already have some of the dealer printouts with the previous owner's name and I'm not asking for the previous owner's info, just a list of service performed so I know what has already been done. I was told a water pump was done right before I bought it, but I have no idea if that is accurate or not.
