It's 100bhp per litre, so maybe pushing the boundaries a little, being that it's an NA.

My neighbour has a 60 plate 530 and that sounds rough as toast, been run on shit oil and not had a change but I'd be pissed if I needed a new engine on a 6yo car just because it fell behind on services.

Its an issue with the bearings, BMW made different ones after a string of issues in the US they are trying to start a class action with BMW.

So brand new engine is coming 2month wait though.

I wouldn't bother towing it, you'll end up covering it in stone chips and that will attract seagulls and scare off your customers.
