Default 535xi n54 Motor Replacement

Hi, apologies if this has already been asked, didn't see any search results. So my 535xi spun a bearing and I need a new motor.
  1. Are all n54 compatible or do I need a motor from an XI
    1. Does it need to be a 535xi or can it be from a 335xi?
  2. Is there much value in an non-running car as in would i get much for it on craiglist?

Thanks in advance for the inputs

The 335i has different turbos since the inlets are located differently. If you get one from a non-xi you will need to transfer over your oil pan. I doubt there would be other differences.

No option to repair? And out of curiosity, what history do you have with the car?
