It sounds like you bought the car right when it needed that 80,000 mile maintenance. Most of the things you listed are common repairs that you want to make sure are done before you buy any 75k+ mileage bmw, otherwise work the repair costs into the sale price.
The transmission however, I've never heard of water getting into it, maybe someone else has...

I'd say save some money now for any things that will come up or if you dont want to invest, sell your X. You are in a position where things are starting to show, replacement wise and after 80K if you run a search, your issue is normal. Plus, you have to consider replacing CV boots, Water pump, thermostat, tranny ( hope this wont happen soon) among other things. Right before i got rid of my X5, my cv boot released some grease and that alone cost me $300. I really like the X, but coudln't afford the repair costs, i had an 01 4.4i with 107K on the clock and i just dont want to deal with any costly issues, but other than my boot, my X was running fine...until when, i wasnt sure so i got rid of it.
