I ponder this question myself so I guess the real issue is - how long does an M96 last?
I have just under 175k on mine and aside from a bit of a leak on the RMS it appears to still be running strong. I have replaced the IMS with the original LN bearing but aside from that I know there are many other causes of death.
On a "regular" car you would continue to run it until oil usage becomes too much or something else goes wrong. But in our cases they literally explode. I guess I'll just continue doing what I'm doing and once it feels like the engine is starting to lose performance start exploring my options.

If you wait until it grenades- you can cost yourself $$$ with other parts that become damaged during grenade event. Those $$$ could have been put towards a solution. My less than .02 worth says give FSI a call about options/facts- Jake and his team are top shelf. Of course- I am a bit biased with the FSI bundle pushing mine around.
