I have a mechanic who works on my car on his spare time. He used to be a bmw mechanic so he knows the car very well.

He recommends that I have him replace the:
Alternator Belt
Alternator Belt Tensioner
AC Belt
Idler Pulley
and the Oil Filter Gasket

I was wondering if anyone knew about how much that would cost.

My car has around 90K miles and I just replaced, the water pump + the vent valve and valve cover gasket with the 15 grommets and some fan.
If you buy the parts, they will cost you about $50.00 @ autohausz:
