Just got this email:

go for it. If your DME isn't updated then its good. My buddy had to get it done on his 05. Had starting problems. would crank and not start.

I got a new tranny 4 months ago. That probably won't apply. But the engine software will.

ok weird stuff, I called my usual dealer (Morristown) and asked them about this recall, they have zero record of any recall work needed on my car. When i called the dealership that sent me this letter, their response was that "although it wasnt on the BMWNA database, it still needed to be done" So i call my normal service advisor back and tell him tihs, he thinks that Roxbury BMW is just tyring to get me in there for service so they can find things wrong with my car and slam me with the bill.

Does anyone know about this recall i noted above?
