Hello fellow 150k+ N63 powered X5 owner! I've done pretty much everything you did also except my exhaust valves were severely pitted so I had to pull the heads too...my rear main seems ok so far but just a heads-up that on the N63, the turbo oil line return housing on the engine block can leak, allowing oil to run out the back weep hole which then trickles right over the rear main seal, perfectly mimicking a rear main seal leak.
Hopefully they replaced this part also, but if not and it still looks likes it's leaking out the rear main, the turbo oil return housing is the most likely culprit.
Keep us posted on how it runs and drives! I'm still working on mine...I'll finish it one day....
