Exclamation What would you do?

Good day,

I've recently put my E93 M3 in for service (2008, 103774 Kms). The mechanic has brought the following items to my attention:-

1 Brake Fluid Dirty 4% - $90
2 Rear Main Seal Minor Leaking
3 Rocker Cover Gaskets Leaking -$890
4 A/T Sump Minor Leaking(Lifetime Oil)
5 LH Daytime Running Light Out - H8
6 LHF Shokie Leaking - $4800
7 Both Engine Mounts Worn - $1400
8 LHR Tyre Bubbling
9 F& R Rotors Fitted Opposite Sides
10 RH Drive Shaft Seal weeping
11 Spark Plugs Due Every 50k
12 Diff Oil Due Every 50k - $180
13 Rear bumper repair paint $500

I am going proceed with: 1, 5, 11, 12 and 13 for now. But before I instruct the mechanic, I would like to ask the forum the following questions:-

A. What are the must items that you would repair/replace here from the list?

B. Is 6 really necessary? They quoted me the original parts which only comes in a pair. Something tells me that there would third party shock absorbers, such as this.

C. Worn engine mounts means that the engine is sitting lowers than it is supposed to. Is this a big issue?

I apologise for asking questions all over the place but I feel a bit overwhelmed due to the big list of 'things to fix' and I just have no idea where to start. Any guidance would be highly appreciated.

Cheers,
Appreciate 0
