E30 325i Head Bolts Upgrade

Has anyone of you (E30 325i owner) had the 14 hex bolts replaced with the 
torx type?  Is this a must upgrade?  My local BMW dealer just told me that 
it was not necessary.  The parts would be $36 and the labor would be 
something like $150.  So it would cost me $200 for the upgrade.  Of course, 
that is relatively cheap compared to a valve job.  But the service rep told 
me that he's hardly seen any E30 with a loose bolt.

I live in San Jose, California area.  Does anyone know a competent mechanic 
in the area that could do the upgrade for me cheaper than that?
