I am cautiously optimistic this may turn out to be a less sever repair then the ENTIRE motor being rebuilt or replaced.

thinking out loud but I would try and buy and extended warranty if you plan to keep it. I have the N63, was a low milage CPO, and under warranty for another 50K miles. Would not own it without warranty peace of mind. I went with the N63 because it was fun to drive...
