So I currently have bad injector cups that I've replaced twice and still won't stop leaking coolant. With 200k miles on the E99 motor I'm looking at some options here. BTW, I only have 5k to work with and I'm having this done at a shop cause I have no time to do it.

Have them pull the motor and heads. I can get the oil pan and cooler this way before they leak, and upgrade my E99 turbo to later style with billows. Hopefully a set of reman injectors too.

or

Buy a used motor, swap out the injectors, oil pan and oil cooler. not sure this is in the budget though.

Or any suggestions?

Thanks for any help, I'm just frustrated with this engine and need some clear heads thinking on this.

Any idea what kind of compression you got? You can get rebuilt heads.
