Enough was enough for a car with a twin turbo 400hp engine that cost $100K you should be able to trust it, so we took it to the dealership. They said there was a recall coming out on the 2009 7ers spark plugs! They went ahead and replaced them, the car is like a whole new car! He is going to be receiving a letter about it, so I'd assume others will be too.
Just wanted to give everyone a head up about it!!

I just had my car in to get the chrome strip on the trunk replaced with the one that has the 'BMW individual' engraved. When I setup the service appointment on Wednesday, they told me that I could come in Thursday morning at 10:30 and it wouldn't take long and that I could wait while they changed the strip out. Well, when I dropped off the car on on Thursday morning, they told me that there was a recall on the F01/F02 spark plugs and that they wanted to update some software. So it turned out that I needed a loaner after all and it took them until Friday just before 5 to do all of that.
Now I never had an issue with the car or the engine, but if they want to give me new spark plugs and update the software to the latest and greatest and not charge me a cent for all of this, by all means then I will let them
