Our manual JCW F56 is coming up for 6 year service, apart from oil and filters plus brake fluid does anything need doing ie coolant or gearbox oil?

Don't know about a manual gearbox but the 7 speed DCT box is due an oil change at 6yrs old. Most unusual for a BMW product with general statement that gearbox's are sealed for life and don't require oil service( despite gearbox manufacturers stating otherwise
So just ask MINI about manual gearbox otherwise 6 year servise was same as others.
The oil changed required the engine undertrays to be removed when MINI found a small oil leak from sump gasket. (No drips on drive) Mini replaced it as a goodwill gesture as I argued that gasket must be defective in some way on a very low mileage car
