Tune tech buys from BMW. And they have lotsa cranks. In stock. In Midrand. And they are supplied with a set of bearings as well. Add to that the sump gasket and the rod /main bolts as well. Then you might have ended up with shavings in your oil system, so that might need to be flushed or replaced as well.
But please believe me that you cannot just take this to any Mech to get sorted. Guys like Peter and Tunetech have done this before, and I can tell you first hand that it's an involved process. Stick with the guys that have done this before.

sludge leading to sticky oil pump, before any major work you decide to do, do 3-4 engine flushes (recommend 2lts diesel thrown in, but some are afraid to do it) if hesitant can use normal engine flush. Thereafter than top up as normal and see if its better.
ok just read, it already killed itself. easier to swop in a low mileage engine.

About R40k thats crank, bearings and labour + sundry items all from bmw. Vs R85k just for an engine which can spin another bearing in 6 months because you have no idea how it was driven, appart from that loss on resale value due to an engine change not to mention police clearance ect due to engine number change.
