Advice from engine guys, please.

What is the likelihood of an engine that has been run extremely low on oil, and presenting with a bottom end knock, being partially rescued by just fitting new bearings, and not changing/regrinding c/shaft?
For completeness, BMW F20 116i. Low oil light did not, at any stage, illuminate.
When level was checked via interior control, it showed as full.
Car was bought from non-BMW source, and was serviced before collection, approx 9k miles ago. Currently with 48k miles.

Although I've done the vast majority (99%) of maintenance work on my cars/bike for the last 40 years, the last crank that I had in my hands was from a 250 2 stroke twin, in, I would guess, '81/'82!
I'm not sure how much visual scoring I'd looking for. Colouring? Would I need to resort to Plastigauge?
TIA.
