As the topic says. Dropped the car off to the dealer to have airbag checked out and he suggested fuel system cleaning as a side. What do you guys think? The car is coming up on 60K.
Car is 2006 525i N52. I did the Chevron fuel system cleaner in the tank before the last oil change and plan on doing it again before the next one.
Thanks!

There was a recent post about replacing the tank mounted fuel strainer / pick-up - I was very surprised to see the crud the filter stopped ... but that is the key - the filter trapped the junk preventing it from getting into the injectors.

Yeah I figured as much and declined it. However, 60K is coming up on the car so I told them to do the 60k checkup. I didn't want to do it, but since the car is going out of warranty soon and I plan on (debating) getting another warranty, I at least want a record showing that I had the car checked out by the dealer.
I only use Top Tier gas as well and saw that fuel filter thread. I plan on doing that soon when I have time.
