Broken timing belt in teh bimmer...

well, driving in new hartford the other night, doin 45 in 5th gear, my car suddenly lost all power, and i could hear valves...not good. i assumed timing belt, and was hoping i shut her down before too much happend...i was wrong. i have no compression in 4 out of 6 cylinders, meaning MANY bent valves, and a broken rocker arm where the valve got bitchslapped by the piston...i haven't pulled the head yet, but i'm dreading what happend to the pistons...keep ya posted
