Well, here is the damage...at least I'm laughing about it now.......probably won't be after I get the bill though!!
sorry for the crappy cameraphone quality, yes the arch is now flat (at least the front half is :'( )

Sorry to see that Doctor, hopefully a little surgery will have her back to normal -
On a lighter note, at least your wheel isn't kerbed too - small consolation I know :'(

I should get my estimate for repair in a couple of hours...I'll keep you all posted!!
thanks everybody for the messages of sympathy...though world events over the last couple of weeks re terrorism make me realise just how unimportant a bashed car is in the grand scheme of things.

Yikes! sorry to see this. My garage is pretty narrow, and the 5 is bigger than my old E46....this will make me even more cautious.
