Does that include fluid and idrive reset?
Not too bad, could be a bit lower, but not unreasonable.
Of course you could do it almost for free yourself.

If you are at all handy look for the DIY for this, I can't remember who but they did a FANTASTIC write up on how to do it. The bleeder kit is like $60 from Bavauto.com and you can get the fluid there too so definitely less than $100 and you can reset the iDrive yourself too.

At the BMW Center, book labor for a brake fluid job on an E60 6-cylinder is 0.9 hours in the US. I get a 20% discount on labor and no mention of fluid or misc parts on the invoice. With the discount and cost of fluid, I'd rather not make a mess in my garage. I do my own engine oil change and brake pad/rotor replacement, though.
