The final solution is going to come down to how to deal with the scored crankshaft. The choices are:
-Send mine to a machine shop to have it ground & polished. They would probably weld/grind/polish just the bad journal, then polish all others.
-Buy a used one online. There's one on eBay for $500, and I'd have it polished before assembly
-Buy a complete brand new "package deal" from BMW which includes a crank and all bearings.
First cut below. This is my best "apples to apples" comparison and certainly doesn't include all the parts I need. If I do piston rings it will be $600 onto each option.
