Just had to share this story.
I had read a lot about the banjo bolts on the spray bar coming loose on the m30 engine.
I checked the service records for our car, and bmw did perform the "service" for the issue.
However, I read too much about it remaining a problem.
I found:

and ordered some (Nice guy, btw). I held on to them; and finally dropped off the car at my mechanic and asked him to adjust the valves & install the new banjo bolts.He tried to talk me out of it; saying factory recalls are usually pretty good; and the engine ran fine/sounded good and he didn't think a valve adjust was called for. (He's not a bmw specialist; but a darn good mechanic)
I just got off the phone with him.... one of the banjo bolts was completely out.... Just sitting there....
Sometimes being paranoid is a good thing.
