BMW 320 1.9D 2002 - Inlet manifold replacement before 80,000 miles? #Archived Message

Having been to have a key programed for this vehicle at a BMW specialist we have been told that the inlet manifold will need to be replaced before 80000 miles as the "butterfly valves" in the manifold can break away and end up in the engine. The vehicle has covered 55000 miles. We were told that the above opperation is routine in the service life at BMW although the parts are expensive. Anyone know about this?
