BMW E46 + ice + curbs = bent rear wheel...

[thewy003]

Hello


Last night the back end slipped out on the ice and I drifted into the curb. The rear drivers side wheel took the brunt of the impact and now seems to be bent out of place. Having spent £300 on a set of new rear bridgestones the day before I'm sure you'll appreciate my devastation (not the tyres fault may I add - complete driver error (and councils reluctance to grit certain roads))

Does anyone have any costing thoughts on this? Suspension arms etc?

Christmas isn't expensive enough as it is!

Matt.

If the wheel is bent outwards at the top you will have bent bottom wishbone/control arm, designed to bend in such scenarios to avoid more expensive damage elsewhere. Shouldn't cost too much to put right.

Is the wheel bent, or the suspension?
