I think your estimates are a little on the low side. A genuine BMW front CV axle costs $646. OEM part runs about $300. Cheap made-in-China part runs about $100. Those are online prices and without labor, seals, and differential oil.
Regarding alignment, I've never heard of a free alignment with new tires. A 4-wheel alignment runs about $75.
I'm doing both of my front axles myself for about $600 in parts (OEM parts). That includes new oil and seals.
