Drive shaft Broken on Parkway

Accelerating onto the parkway last night in my 2011 Xdrive50i with 74k miles and heard a terrible metal crunching noise. Pulled over quickly and saw the drive shaft hanging down. The car was towed off to some shop but I'm not sure what to expect now.

Can just the joint on the end be replaced? Does the whole unit need to be swapped? Was there a recall because I can't find any online but I see the part was superseded by a newer model. What should I expect here?

Thanks for your help!
