I just ordered the cam alignment tool, new Teflon seal rings and 2 new vanos bolts. I found 24 new lifters on e-Bay for about $70 but at that price I am skeptical. They show the right part # of 11 33 7 548 690 along with many others that these are supposed to be compatible with. Has anyone bought the cheap e-Bay lifters before?

I haven't used the eBay lifters but was looking at the Pelican Parts OE lifters they list. IMHO, I would use the OE version.
Makes me wonder if the previous owner waited 15K or longer to execute the oil changes.....
