I met a guy last week that has 175,000 miles on his original M96 and original IMS!
My car had the engine replaced after the IMS failed at 153,000 miles. It has Pedro's DOF installed on a used engine and I expect this engine to outlast the car.
My friend's car has 163,000 miles on the original engine (IMS replaced at 90,000 miles).
I think replacing the whole engine is a bit too proactive, IMO. If you're even asking the question, it tells me you take good care of your car and keep it running right. There is no telling with a used engine... If the previous guy used cheap oil, redlined it as soon as he started it up on cold mornings, or shifted gears at 1800rpm (which could damage timing components), you might end up replacing your good engine with a power-plant that is inferior to yours. I think with proper care your engine will give you another 100,000 miles without incident or cause for concern. My $0.02 anyway...
