Lightbulb Diag scrutiny. (pull out your calculators)

So, I took my beemer to the shop today to diag a Check Engine Light. I either thought it wouldn't be a big issue, or it would be something big because I just bought the car about 6 months, and from the history, it doesn't look like the owners were beemer enthusiasts at all, so, they didn't take care of the car as a beemer, they took care of it as a 'car'.
So, here's what the mechanic gave me.
Let me know:
- How much in YOUR expert opinion, this all should cost me
- If there's anything that's not too terribly important to do at this time. (since I'm low on cash)
- If there's an easier fix (maybe a DIY) to any of these that should not require a trip to the shop, and for me to tell them not to do it.
- Any other suggestions. Anything comments welcome, good or bad.

As I said, I just got this car, and I want to have it running up to standard.
(by the way, I know that the 100k tune hasn't been done on it, car's got 105k...I'll probably take care of it after this debacle)

Thanks.

- Rony.
