That's really bad news.

You do see complete (relatively low mileage - 60k,) used motors for sale under $4k, which I would guess would be cheaper than a new block and a set of rings from BMW. Save you a LOT of work and some cost, (gaskets, bolts etc.) on reassembly.

I guess you could find a used shortblock, but that might be really tough to find. I'd still hone it and put in new rings if you find one.
