Oh, I thought you meant the compressor. The condenser is basically just a radiator for your AC system. It does some other stuff, but is just a mechanical device. Running without an auxiliary fan will not damage the condenser.
Oh, and spending $2000 after purchase price on a used BMW is pretty standard fare. Only way to avoid that is to pay top dollar to an enthusiast who has already done the work that 99% of used BMW's need. Most owners don't do the maintenance they are supposed to on time, or decide to live with check engine lights, clunking suspensions, etc until they trade the vehicle in or sell it to pass on the problems to the next guy. Sad, but true.
