Check Besian Systems out. He has a vanos solenoid repair kit and sealing plate oring replacement kit (viton orings), but I don't know if he has one for the M62. Rajae's a great guy to deal with so get in contact and he'll help you figure it out. I used his S54 solenoid repair kit and sealing plate kit. Super detailed instructions. No affiliation, just a happy customer.

I would not replace the solenoid. I don't think it is a common point of failure. The seal around it is easy to swap out. Just 2 bolts. Removing the solenoid actually takes a special socket if I remember correctly.
Beisan Systems has been a big help for me. I have rebuilt the vanos units on both my M62 and M52TU engine in my E39. The V8 (M62) is a way bigger job as the cams have to be timed, etc.. But I was there anyway doing the cam chain guides.

Thanks for the advice, replaced the gaskets but not the solenoids. Feel better about not replacing them now...
