With the tech saying "Around $1000" let's say that it's about $940.00.

$940.00
$190.00
$750.00

So let's say labor is about $70 an hour. You mean to tell me that this is going to be a $10 hour job? Come on....
Where are you getting labor on a BMW for $70/hr? $125 would be more realistic which results in 6hrs of labor using your math. Book time is somewhere between 6-8hrs for valve cover gaskets IIRC. For reference, my dealership quoted me $1,272 parts and labor at $145/hr.
