60,000 mile maintenance items

My wife's got a 2012 Countryman All 4 S that just turned over 60,000 miles.

Does anyone have a list of items that are done at the 60,000 mile maintenance? I found one online, but it has items that can't be done on these cars (like adjust the valves). I've changed the plugs, the air filter, the oil and oil filter, what else? I read on another thread that changing the coolant is not needed anymore. How about the serpentine belt, the automatic transmission fluid?
Thanks for any input, Steve

Some info HERE. You can do items as a preventative measure as well. Don't neglect the cooling system. You'll definitely want to do a flush at some point. I do it about every 2 years, some people do it once every 36 months, or approximately every three years. For the transmission fluid, typically, you'll want to change the fluid about every 50,000 miles or so along with the filter in the transmission.

The manual doesn't even tell you how much oil it takes for an oil change.

Should Be a service and warrant booklet with info, maybe. Since the Mini uses the condition based system I don't think the do much at 60k. I'd flush the brake fluid every two years if not just done with pad change. Replace coolant even though they claim lifetime. Not sure I'd do transmission fluid at 60k unless you have severe usage, too me it is a canof worms I'd rather leave until later.

Thanks. I did the brake fluid at 45K. I was going to take it to a shop to have the transmission done, and was wondering what other items I might have him take care of. Probably have him flush the coolant.
