Hit a curb help!
Just bought a new F30 335 xdrive a week ago. I was going about 30mph in a parking lot and spotted a curb in the last second. I slowed down and turned but I probably hit the curb at about 10mph. I took a chunk out of my Front right wheel and a tiny piece of curb rash on my rear wheel. The car drive perfect and doesn't shake at all. Two things I have noticed are that it pulls very slightly to the right and the right front wheel is slightly cambered in now. What do I do? What do you think I broke? How much is your guess on repair? Control arm? Tie Rod? Bushing? I tried to look at the parts with the wheel turned and everything seems ok. The wheel isn't cracked just a chunk missing. Please help. Thank you.

Was not drunk. In America we have a lot of land so our parking lots are huge. It was probably 3 acres of parking lot so you can easily get up to speed. I'm new to the area unfortunately so I did not know there was a curb in the middle of the parking lot. I'm originally from Las Vegas where the curbs are marked with reflectors so that you don't hit them. Here in Reno it is just a random piece of concrete in the middle of a parking lot. The obvious answer is to go to the dealer to get it checked out. In fact I work for BMW and will obviously get it inspected. I was hoping someone would have a better idea of what I could have damaged with the information I posted. Thank you.

Getting it inspected at the stealership today. Hoping for the best. I know the suspension is aluminum so it bends easily. Worry is that the strut is broken or knocked out of the knuckle
 wish me luck. Quote:
