yup me too, on my 2011 23i. Hoping i can get my trusted garage to do it rather than going to a main dealer.

I got one, plus I have the same engine in my 5 series touring so I got a letter for that as well

I am in Spain and I have not received any notification, when I typed in my UK registration in the UK Gov MOT site which still shows details of my car including expired MOT (as I imported it onto Spanish registration), it says no recalls outstanding. Mine was built June 2009 or maybe a bit earlier, does anyone know if there is a manufacturing date from when this engine was affected? Maybe I should enquire with a BMW dealer here just in case.

How can you find out if this has already been done?

Looks like mine is OK, no recall on BMW's website
I like to think I'm an optimist.

Looks like a patch of bad bolts or someone didn't check the torque wrench setting.
