Nothing sounds like major surgery and some of it reads like Stlr
bs/scare tactics, imo...they would like you to trade it/toss it,
(for pennies on the dollar), to them, for a new $70G car that's
sitting on their lot burning a hole in their floor inventory budget, lol!

Werewolf gave a good response and others here have done or,
had done, the things on your list.

The valve covers sound really bs ish, unless you see oil leaks or,
they actually took off the plastic engine cover to look; some oil
weepage or even seepage, does not demand new gaskets, but
on the IL 3.0 that is not a huge task, imo.

"Lube bushings"? Dunno what effect that has...

Nothing on your fix list sounds abnormal espc for the
mileage and age of your X...

As all said above, get a detailed quote from them or,
find another Stlr for another opin and quote or,
find a good BMW Indie.
