Letting your car sit for a few months is a sure way to kill your battery. As far as the alternator and leaks are concerned you may choose NOT to have those repairs done at this time. My suggestion for your 2001 BMW 325Ci would be to have the brakes repaired and the battery replaced. Once you have your car back you will find out very quickly if the alternator is working or not. Letting a vehicle for a few months should not affect the alternator or create any leaks. If you do not trust the dealer perhaps you should get a second opinion before deciding on the alternator and leak repairs.
