Re: Fork oil ?
Not part of the scheduled maintenance procedure. The BMW Front Forks are not conventional in that the Oil contained therein is to" Lubricate" the Slider / Bushes only. There is no Hydraulic Damping requirements placed on the Oil so presumably is does not degrade like in conventional Motorcycle Forks. At least that's what I think !.

Re: Fork oil ?
I recently changed seals and oil on my forks but only because I wanted to repaint the lowers. This was at 35k miles - it was pretty clean but less came out than the recommended quantity.
