Cars and times change, comparing an old design BMW 3 series ( I take not with the VANOS as special tools are needed to set that up) and the current M96 engine is not relevant.
The M96 engine has gone through several updates and repairing an engine with known potential problems presents the repair shop with a liability and warranty issue.
Installing a Porsche remanufactured engine may not be the cheapest way out, but for shops and the vehicle owner, it is a known end product.
