I do tend to keep cars for a long time, '96 318i, 11 years. I did the change for the reason you stated. I kept it mild till the 1200, then road trip where I did open it up more. I think engine crap is usually at the beginning of the life cycle. At 72, I suspect this car will outlast me as it is my old man go fast car.
