Maintenance Schedule?

Does anyone have a summary of Mini's recommended maintenance schedule? I usually make an excel spreadsheet that lists mileage on the left side (usually in 3000 mile intervals) and maintenance items across the top. these are usually oil change, coolant, brake fluid, tranny fluid, air filter, fuel filter, etc (see below). I place an "X" in the appropriate box to let me know its due. Once its complete, I enter the actual mileage it was done. Does anyone know the "schedule" for the Mini? I ordered an '09 and would like to be prepared.

I don't think there is a schedule for the "normal" maintenance items as the computer calculates the mileage intervals based on ??? For example, my Mini is currently on pace for its first service at around 20,000 miles. But someone else's could be entirely different based on the way they drive. There might be some mileage specific items as you get a little further out or some of the more major service items. Will have to check my manual.
