does this cause hydrolock? I thought a cracked head gasket just usually causes loss of compression (as compression bleeds between to adjacent cylinders). Sounds like something more serious, like a blown head.
I wonder how long the engine was running overheated and if this was the first time. My Nissans have been quite tolerant to this, sounds like BMW's are not.
