But yes maybe they're cheap enough to actually make that BMW prefer to sell em and account for them in creative ways, than have higher labour durations at the dealerships which they can't take a cut of.
The downside is that it takes years for decent sensible fixes to arrive.
In 10 years this'll be a £10 fix and 30mins labour.

I took my car in to the dealer last week to address a recall issue. While I was there I mentioned the clunking noise and immediately I was told it's probably related to my H&R sport springs.
I sent the service advisor the bulletin I found on this thread and he had the tech take a look. He said they could do the update and it will update all the modules in the car.
I decided to go ahead and pay for the software update on my 2013 335i with adaptive suspension and the clonking noise has completely gone away!
I highly recommend printing a copy of the bulletin and handing it to the service advisor as I would have been stuck with being told it was my springs because BMW didn't want to do the legwork of finding the PUMA bulletin.
I switched over to non run flats a few days after this update and I have to say this is how I expected the car to drive from the get go.
