Dude, that just sucks, there's no easy way around it. You gambled and unfortunately got bit. I think you shouldn't chance it and make it worse by finding a cheap solution to the problem. I would get the car to a certified BMW repair mechanic either a dealer or wherever. A sock wrapped around the camshaft is some serious sh1t. I would be more worried about making it worse than saving money at this point. Suck it up, find the money and get it done right. Don't chance it on making it worse and do real damage.
