The total cost seems really high, I know BMW can be expensive to fix but an aftermarket strut/spring kit seems far cheaper than the OE parts which my SA quoted at ($1,530). Even the performance BMW suspension kit is less than what my SA quoted (tischer has it for $1,260)

Strut replacement isn't difficult - $70 quoted at Pep Boys more like it - did mine in my garage. Always change both.
A good opportunity to install Koni FSD's....I say go for it, but do all 4 as they're real diff than what you have, and much more comfortable.
Spindle mount? Give us detail here. Ask 'em for a realoem.com reference; post so's we can view it on screen.
