Fuel injector flush not covered?

Question:

A service advisor recommended a FI flush at 30k mile service visit and said its not covered abs would be $200. Does this sound right?

I thought maintenance was covered until end of 4yr/50k miles?

He's upselling you. It's not a maintenance item..

what exactly do they do for a fuel injector flush? is it a special procedure or do they just dump some injector cleaner fluid in your gas tank?

my dealer has sold me BMW's 'approved' injector cleaner before. its pretty cheap. definitely not $200....

looks something like this.
