It also may not go down much in value since it is fully depreciated. If you love the car, fix it and keep it and the value won’t drop much. But the OP is scared of future costs given what he has experienced so far, and that is reasonable. Who is to say the used replacement engine won’t fail in 3 years. He had replaced the rod bearings on the original motor and it still failed. Could happen again.
I sold my E90 M3 with 110k miles for $20k in 2021. I did the rod bearings at 60k myself and did a lot of other preventive maintenance along the way and a bunch of mods. The guy I sold it to is selling it now for $23k and it has 130k miles.
