Coolant flush
Brake fluid flush
Maybe throttle body cleaning?
Maybe MAF sensor spray clean (this works for me with a quick few sprays with MAF sensor cleaner from AutoZone once per year or so)
Maybe walnut blasting? I believe carbon buildup on the N63TU is more of a concern than on the N55.

The other things you posted don’t seem to need replacing just as of yet since the car has not reached the specified mileage for such replacement.
For instance, the auto transmission fluid doesn’t need to be replaced until between 80-100k miles (even though BMW claims it is “lifetime fluid”).

The drive belt/tensioners/pulleys can wait if the belt still looks good (which it should at that mileage/age) and no noises are coming from the tensioners.

Same with fuel injectors. I know these can cause issues, but I would wait until they give a code or actually cause issues before replacing.

Others can chime in about the other parts.

Oh and for brakes, Zimmerman rotors and Textar/TRW/Akebono pads. Akebonos might have less pad bite.
Thank you for your input ..

the reason i want to change the fuel injector is to get the entire fuel system back up to 100%.. 10.3mpg means there is some serious underperforming or clogged system .. theres a slight turbo lag too, not too much, but it is a lag when i floor it (rolling speeds not from stop) .. the coils and plug definitely, the injector might be slightly early, but IDK how the previous owner drove it so, thats why i want to replace it and not have to worry about getting them cleaned or replaced in the future.

and as for the code.. i did receive a 02 bank or oxygen code something like that, it was a while back and i cleared it and it hasnt returned, so thats another reason i want to replace the injectors as well as the O2 oxygen sensors ...

Im going to hold off on the fluid as per your suggestion .. however BMW recommends changing the oil every 10k miles and i just changed it the other day, i put about 2-3k miles and then i got the "oil level low pleaae add 2qts immediately" message ... its only been 2 months , with my previous cars I would change the oil monthly so I am not too concerned .. however does that seem like a high oil consumption to you ? (i know the N63 has oil consuption issues, this is the N63TU which is touted as the ultimate fix for all the issues the N63 engine has, however since it has been 2 months im nit too concerned as like i said, i usually change the oil monthly ( i drive everyday

MAF cleaning thanks, will add that to the list to tell my mechanic to clean, Ive actually performed that before on my infiniti, as well as ended up replacing them
