My seven year old BMW has covered 250,000km - should the gearbox oil be replaced?

My 2012 BMW 320d ED auto has now covered more than 250,000km of mainly motorway driving. Should the gearbox oil be replaced?

Find a member of www.fedauto.co.uk who has a Liqui Moly Geartronic automatic transmission fluid transfusion machine that can change the fluid at precisely the correct temperature and pressure. An ordinary garage cannot do this.
