If you are brave and the crank turns in a clockwise direction as you face it, you can put a six-point impact socket on the Jesus bolt and with a 1/2 or 3/4 breaker bar inside a steel pipe resting on the floor give the starter a bump. That should break the Jesus bolt so that you can spin it out of the crank.

Do this at your own risk. I am not responsible for any injury to you or damages to your BMW or tools if you use this method.
