BMW replacing ignition coil (Bosch part2) in N43 and N53 engines. - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

I rang BMW today to fix service appointment and they told me that BMW is replacing ignition coil in cars with N43 and N53 engines and it affects E6x, E8x, E9x cars in Europe. It is a cost free replacement but no letters have been sent out. My dealer says that it is directed towards those who have their service appointments with the BMW workshops. Sounds odd because if it is faulty, it should be offered to all BMW owners and not just those who book their service with them. Is this a new way to catch customers? Has any one else heard of this replacement?

rang them today as well. They are indeed expecting new coils from Germany. My car developed these problems again with limp mode and half yellow engine warning sign. God knows if these coils will fix the N43 engine problems.
