Strut mounts

I'm new to this forum. I just bought a 2003 z4 and spent every last penny buying it cash.
I just noticed the same thing as was shown in the original post pictures.
My question is this. Is my car safe to drive, or can the struts come up and go into the hood or cause a wreck? The car drives/feels great, I just happened to notice the cracks all around the mounts. (It looks like its pretty much cracked all around on both strut mounts)
If I need to go into debt to insure safety or further damage, I definitely will, but I'd rather wait a couple of months to be able to save for it. (Not to mention it was a little bit if a hard sell to the wife and a big expense doesn't help the cause...). What should this repair cost?
Thanks in advance for your help and replies.
