I bought my God daughter a 2002 BMW 325i and one of the idler pulleys froze up and snapped the belt. The belt also broke the blades on the cooling fan. I think she might have driven the car too long afterward. The car was repaired a few days later but it started running hot that same day and making loud clunking noises. Is it possible that the engine is completely shot?

Yes, it is possible the head is cracked.
