The BFR does not have to include any Instrument Currency component as
long as the Pilot is current, correct?


Whether you are instrument current or not has no bearing. What I care
about is whether you plan on flying IFR. If the answer is yes, then I
would insist on some instrument work during a flight review.

I have had a case where an instrument rated pilot had not flown IFR in
many years and said that he had no intention of ever becoming current.
In that case, I elected to not do any instrument work for the flight
review.

BTW, the phrase BFR is no longer used. It is Flight Review (FR).





" ...
If you are Instrument Current and due for a BFR, are you required
to or should you also be tested on Instrument Approaches, Holds,
etc?



A flight review consists of a minimum of an hour of ground and an
hour of flight instruction by FAR.

An instructor may conduct the flight review in any way he pleases as
long

as
it meets these parameters. I have known instructors who would not do
a flight review in less than 16 hours. It is whatever the instructor
feels comfortable in signing you off for.
