He mentioned nothing about spark plugs being NEEDED at 35K miles, just that it was preventative, most say 60K miles.
I'd say your problem isn't plugs.
But if it is, I'd say that you can probably get them changed by any decent mechanic for a hell of a lot less than $475 or $550. The plugs themselves are what, $150? $475 and $550 is highway robbery...

Especially being a inline6, the plugs are easy to get to. I think the back one is a little difficult, but there is an access hatch and you can use a swivel socket to make it easier. It's one of the reasons I liked the M2. Because my previous car has a transverse v6, and the tune made it blow coil packs/plugs every couple years, and was a pain to replace those rear plugs/coils.
