I am not sure how many posters know about the recall.

I don't know how many vehicles it applied to, but it could be a very small number.

Because it was a safety recall, I would expect that it would have been done by the dealer around the 2005 timeframe when the recall was issued. All the vehicles covered by the recall had four years of included maintenance, and so would have been at the dealer's many times.

I don't think it is a big deal at all.

It is not clear to me that the fluid would have to be drained to replace the part, as the description of the part is very generic. I'm not sure. In any case, BMW service instructions in many cases were to drain the fluid and reuse it.

You could check at your dealer's whether your vehicle was impacted by the recall, and if it was carried out.
