If you have active steering, a 4 wheel alignment done by a dealer should be no more than $300. For regular steering, the usual cost is $150~220. And you can easily determine if one is necessary by checking the evenness of your tire tread wear.
I've never had a dealer try to sell me the other stuff, and I doubt any of it is either necessary or even helpful. So just have your dealer do the free covered maintenance as outlined by your manual and car's computer and politely decline any additional "offers".
(The last item - the Battery/Alt. test should be performed only if there is a problem and is then considered a warranty item. My '07 328i recently had such a problem, my dealer performed the test twice, found the intermittently bad alternator and replaced it for a total charge of $0.00 under warranty. They also gave me a free loaner for two days while waiting for the parts to arrive.)
