thanks for all the replies

the rims look to be okay, there is no visible damage

the error messages came up again after i restarted the car
but when i started it again after a couple of hours they were gone..

Yes. Very easy. Search, or someone will post up a link.

As for the original poster, sorry. I did almost the same thing a few months ago where 2x in 2 weeks (I really can drive...) I dropped a wheel (or 2) off the edge of the road and bent 3 rims (1 one time, 2 the other...) and ended up buying 4 rims / tires. Long story, but I feel your pain. Hope your insurance covers any damage to the car.

Also check in your status messages in the iDrive menu.
Go to the i-Menu (push down on the controller in the main menu), go to Service.
Go to "Check Control messages" and see if there's nothing there.

If there are still some messages there, go see the dealer, because active steering faults could be serious.

i had similar warnings appear but just all of a sudden. no hitting of any potholes and it turns out the steering angle sensor was messed up.

just if you continue having the problems.
