I don't know about specific service interval offhand but I changed the rear diff fluid coming up to 60k miles just as maintenance I like to do. Due to being in ELW I used MB fluid but I believe that M1 diff fluid is also used by dealers. I would not personally do it but I'm guessing you could go to 80-100k miles.
Old fluid was in decent shape so I'm just saying the fluid change was my choice and not due to pure necessity. Since its my "free" labor, buying some fresh fluid is just cheap insurance.
Mine is a 4matic and I haven't tackled the front diff yet as its pretty fiddly to do (no refill plug). Rear diff is pretty straightforward.
