Morning Giovanni

Welcome to the Forum

Your transmission is made by ZF it is for the protection of the transmission ZF advise service at between 60k and 100k (depending on environment and use) or 5 years. 

Having owned 4 BMW X5's all with ZF transmissions 5 speed, 6 speed and like yours 8 speed. My thoughts are why cut corners when the gearbox is likely to have only one or two services in the time I own it and genuine ZF Fluid and Filters will set you back around £250/£300 the same applies for the Transfer Box and Diffs. I have seen alternate Fluid kits available that may save around £100 but as a rebuild is anything from £2000 up personally I wouldn't risk it. 

Having said that I do know someone who used a Luiquid Moly Fluid kit in his Jaguar (same Box) and so far so good

Hope this helps

Dave
