Need advice: 2017 X3 70K miles suddenly a LOT of issues

Sorry this is so long. I’m not very experienced with Reddit posts:

I had new tires replaced mid-may at BMW dealership. They found issues with the differential and the CV axle. Now I also have turbo and front thrust rod brushing issue. Below are recommendations.

Turbo is leaking: replace

front thrust rod brushing torn: replace

Left front CV axle is seeping: replace outer boot

Right side rear differential seeping oil: replace both rear differential side seals

Additionally, brake pads need replacing soon so there’s that to add to all the costs.

My question is should I do these repairs? The dealership is telling me it;s not worth it as I could continue to have more and more issues.

My problem is I cannot find a car that I like that I also can afford right now. I’m curious if you guys think fixing these would buy me a couple months to look for a new car?

I had an extended warranty that ran out mid-May. The dealership is checking to see if the CV axle repair, and differential could be covered.

Is Fife geared towards undergrads? Or are there grad students living there too?

Looking for any information/opinions/experiences regarding Fife apartments for an International (Female) grad student.

Is there a strong community of grad students or is Fife geared towards undergrads? How is the commute to campus in the winter?

Do the flats have their own laundry facilities?

Thank you!
