no, not good, i know hindsight sucks but driving it 100 ft with no coolant is bad but two or three miles? that sucker got HOT. maybe borg nanoprobes will work. if not, i have a new style head, fresh valve job and new exhaust valve guides. also resurfaced. putting a 3.5L in my e12 dont need the head. will take $250. that is half what i have invested.

This doesn't sound good at all.

I think your ultimate repair involves a witch's brew of snake oil, left eye of salamander, and a collection of several dead presidents.

My prayers to the Bimmer Gods go with you.
