Question Cats, Spark plugs/wires Throttle Body need to be inspected/replaced

OK so I got my oil changed on my 8 today and the service guy told me that my car has 3 recalls that need to get fixed asap.
I ask, what are they?
He said the cats, spark plugs & wires, throttle body all need to be inspected or replaced should take 3hrs to do and we can put you in a rental for 2 days at no charge. I was like ok, no. I have to work today after you change my oil and why do I need a rental car for 2 days if its only 3hrs of work? He said just to be on the safe side. I still said no.

So anyone have this work and the recall work done on there 8?
I'm confused on this.

On a side note I did find this http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/pe...2004&partid=22 anyone have one on there 8?

Psst - I think he's pulling your leg on the throttle body spacer (at least I hope so).
