We all have similar stories, with our E60s or others.
I had my Infiniti G35 coupe about a week when I curbed the rims. Talk about being pissed.
At least you're okay...it could always be worse.

I have the aluminum bracket right here with me.. snapped right in half and then i tried to drive the car home and the swap bar did a complete 180 and seems to be resting upon the exhaust manifold now. I feel a huge vibration and when I look under the car the ends of the sway bar are not there.. ill jack it up and take some pictures, luckily the part is only 14 bucks from the dealer just hope i can throw it on myself and get it aligned soon ..
i miss driving it.
a 99 acura tl has me bored to death!

The good news is that you'll not get into any "trouble" in the Acura for awhile...LOL.
