The problem isn't that you were going too fast, you were going too slow. If you had been going a bit faster you would have flown right over the gap in the pavement! 
In any case, sorry to hear about your problems and I hope inusrance covers at least some of the damage. Don't feel guilty about it. Driving the e60 fast is an unavoidable consequence of owning one. Good luck!

I did brake but i dont think it slowed me down any less than 140km....i guess the speed helped me cause judging by the steel of the tracks it should have damaged my suspension tyrod etc....

The post about not braking is actually sort of right. When you brake the weight shiifts to the front wheels increasing likelihood of damage when they hit the pot hole so either don't brake and just sail through or brake but release just before hitting so that the weight shifts rearwards.
This also applies to speed bumps where of you brake hard you also have a bigger chance of scraping your front spoiler.
