I don't own one but at this point I've done more than my fair share of work on one. -

That crappy plastic cage is the difference between an engine that works and one that mysteriously has half the lifters fail, cam journals scored, and VANOS mechanically stuck faults because all the oil pressure leaked out of the stupid cam ledge bearings. Also, the difference between the right oil filter and the wrong one. I don't know why BMW is like this. Their engines are incredibly sensitive to the slightest thing being wrong. -
I vote for rebuilding current RB. At least you'll know exactly what condition your engine is in afterwards and no future unpleasant surprises.

Vanos solenoid problems and basically all sensors die an early death -
Yep, back in the day when you could pick up a Stagea RB25 NEO for $1,500 it was worth it. These days... just chuck your V8 or B58 in.
