I suggest doing some troubleshooting before deciding your problem has anything to do with the valve train. There is a long list of other potential causes with a higher % of likelihood.

My guess is that if the vehicle was worth $3,500 that would have been the price. I'm surprised the engine even ran for $150. I'd say your cost of ownership for 1,400 miles is very low and you can sell some parts and then scrap it for a tidy profit to buy a 528.
OK, enlighten me, i have run injector cleaner thru it 3-4 times. i soaked injectors in seafoam when i was doing water crossover. did smoke test. new plugs, coils, cleaned MAF. new ccv. two new ccv hoses. did a hard reset, batt disconnect for a day.

it didnt run for a $150. as i was pulling in the driveway, it popped the upper Rad hose cuz ac compreasor had no charge. then, wouldnt start. i had to clear values, then it would run.

so far: sunroof ectomy,also dump bleach at the roof drains, they clear after a day or two& second treatment, upper hose, AcCompressor and recharge, coolant crossover, new plugs, new coils, new water pump, new thermostat, new cv boots yet to be done. poliShed headlights, drivers door handle inner mechanism replace, windshield washer pump and grommets, folding mirrors need new barrels, pins are broke, new trim at top of windshiled. hood latch cables broke, i have new just arrived yeasterday. new belt on ac compressor, put a etrailer reciever hitch on it. it need trans flush and 2-1 downshift solenoid. about 1 in 15 she hits HARD!. i have to wire flat four trailerconnector. i have the oem bmw module and a etrailer kit .,
