SOS 2012 F10 N63 Engine Replacement

Bad news for my 2015 550i.... needs an engine replacement at 86k. Luckily, the third party warranty will cover it, but we're having a hard time sourcing a new or used motor. There's an option to order one through the dealer, but it's on back order and who knows how long it could take to get here. Anyone know where to look for used engines? Or has anyone gone through this process before and have any words of wisdom?
