I have a 99 9-3SE and I can't speak for how the previous owner drove the car (and who had it up to 70k) but I don't drive my car like an old lady. It now has 100k.
I recently took the car into an indie shop I got off the board, just to get the tranny checked out. I asked him what issues he'd seen -- or what symptoms I could expect as the tranny aged -- and he had literally zero feedback to give me. He basically said these are really solid transmissions and he has not had to deal with any major issues.
So, like everyone is saying here, get it flushed. Don't just drain it -- take it to a service shop that will flush and replace all the fluid and either request a specific replacement fluid or take it in yourself -- proabably a good idea with the radiator, too.
Hope that helps -- good luck!
