Engine + Driveline / I can't imagine what could be wrong.

Alright so I picked up a 91 318i in perfect condition, except the motor wasn't running, for $400 bucks!
Owner said it died one day in the parking lot and has zero compression in 1 and 2.
So I finally got around to doing a compression check today and confirmed ZERO compression on 1 and 2, while 3 and 4 were perfect.
Head gasket was in perfect condition, and oil didn't have a drop of coolant in it.
Pulled the valve cover, and this is what I find. Seems maybe an exhaust valve or two were open
