Selling a broken car is a money pit, you are probably better off buying a used engine from MPartsWorldwide for example and then selling or keeping a functioning car.

You've paid 11k to get to 150k miles. All cars need maintenance. Also, your engine failure is not at all common, that looks like detonation took out the cylinder.
Yeah I'd see how much a used engine would cost and re-evaluate. Keep in mind the rod bearing issue on e9x is very real, even if you were to get a replacement engine. You can buy a used e93 m3 for 20kish so not sure a brand new engine is really worth it.
