They figured the first gasket had a nick in it they missed or something. $1100 is really pricey, mine was $80 parts and $616 in labour. Total was around $800 incl taxes.
I'm surprised the valve cover gasket is still an issue in the E90. It was a problem with my E30 and 17 yrs later, it's still an issue.

They are a problem on every car. Usually they need to be done at 100,000 - 150,000 kms regardless of the manufacturer. If they aren't leaking, they are definitely sweating.
$1,100 sounds really high. I did the VC gasket on my E90 when i was doing the plugs, it's not a 6 hour job, more like 2-3 hours taking your time.
