2006 Mini Maintentance

Hello, I have a 2006 Mini Cooper that has about 90,000 miles. I really haven't had to do much to it except for oil changes, tires and brakes (no problems). I am thinking of taking it to an independent to just do some checking to make sure every thing is doing ok. Can anyone recommend what I should have have them check for? I don't want anyone saying I need to replace something that doesn't need to be.

Replace all fluids: transmission, brakes, etc.
Check bushings to see if any are worn, specifically the front control arm bushings.

+1 on what Evasive suggested.
Might want to also think about replacing the fuel filter.
