Not sure what to do at this point, swap the motor or sell it. What do you guys think it would be worth? 2012 X5 35i fully loaded, comfort package, sport package, premium package, cold weather package, everything but 3rd row. 120k car ran perfect before this mishap. Really bummed about this.
Sorry to hear it did turn out to be seized.

Engine swap would cost you around 3-4K if you do all the work yourself or about 7-8K Indy shop and prob 16k+ at Dealer.

If it were me, I would find a decent used engine and swap it.
