Engine issue

The 328i quit while at the gas station.

Turned over but No restart.

Mechanic (not BMW) determined by looking through the cap that the cam was not turning and diagnosed a broken timing chain. The consensus was to expect major component damage and either rebuild or replace the motor.

I realize that an accurate examination and diagnosis of what happened and what damage has occurred is only possible from a tear down.

Ok, the question is, from the simple diagnosis provided what to do. Naturally cost is a factor.

Thanks
