Now thats what I call support!
well done Trevor, the VM is not the best loved engine but I thought they had it nearly sorted with the 2.5. Was that engine not in early 90 Jeep Cherokees as well. If so they're a good source of parts, there was a lot more of those sold than VM RRs.
IMHO the best engine (diesel) ever in a RR was the 200tdi. What a willing, almost unbreakable lump. I loved my one.
The BMW is a really sweet engine when its chipped but like you said preventative maintainence is crucial with it. My 99 DSE has cost me a bomb but has since repaid in spades in driving pleasure and I can't see myself driving anything else as long as I can keep it or a replacement running.
