Dealer price on these services?

Can someone give me a price range on what to expect for the parts and labor on this:

-fog lamp bulb
-washer wipers (front)
-front washer pump / gasket / hose replacement
-coolant reservoir replacement (that half a loaf a bread sized contraption) & top off
-battery charge (not new battery)
-inspection diag hook up (no oil change, just a electronic check)

thanks!

Why not call the dealer directly?
There has to be at least 3 dealers
on your side of the bay.

I made the suggestion because unless someone works for a dealer it would be difficult to give you a price for the items on your list.

I just call around to more than one dealer and that way i get a sense of what it's going to cost. You could try an indie. San Leandro Auto in the east bay is a BMW shop that does great work.

whatever members post here does not matter since the price of each dealer varies, especially lately that the gas prices has gone up, parts and labor goes with it. So whatever a dealer quote you doesn't necessarily mean they are the same for all dealers.

When I read this I see either a very rich person who is worrried about the cost of minor maintenance.

Or a person who is not aware that all of these things (except the last) are minor repairs that you can easily do yourself.

I am not sure which you are, but for me, I would just go ahead an do it myself. If you have never done things like this, it may seem daunting at first, but you will learn a lot while doing it.
