F80 Brake Fluid Flush

How often do I need to flush brake fluids? I have a 2015 M3 and barely even can get 4K miles per yr and sitting at 31K miles now, do I do it every 10K or at 50K miles?

I stopped going to the BMB Stealership after the warranty was up

Since you drive 4k miles per year, I'd recommend every 2 year. If you plan to drive it aggressive here and there, I'd recommend you to bleed the brakes. OEM brake fluid will be fine.

Brake fluid flushes are completely time based (unless you're heavily tracking it) because the biggest reason for them is brake fluid absorbing moisture from the air. Every 2 years for a street driven car, annually if you do occasional track days.

Any competent shop can bleed brakes. All the typical ones everyone throws out on the forums can do it.
