Question about upper timing case gasket plz

[AZX54.4]

I am in discussion with the shop right now. Some additional information would be much appreciated.

How much additional time/labor is required to replace the upper timing case covers if you are already in there replacing the valve cover gaskets??

I just came back from Hassel BMW Dealer to have my recall done. I asked them to give me price estimates on a few things that can be done. First, the SA told me that if you're going to have the Valve Cover Gaskets replaces, they recommend that you have the Upper Timing Cover Gaskets replaced too. Is that true?

Here is the price quotes on a few things. My jaw almost dropped.

$390 valve cover gaskets
$1850 both upper timing cover gaskets
$2640 front lower control arms
$400 recommeded alignment with bushings
$250 prices plus tax

I would assume this all includes labor?

Are these guys serious??? Almost $3K for front control arms??? $2300 for VC & TC gaskets?? Something is wrong here. I would get an explanation on those prices.
