Loosen all bolts from every rim. We left with my wife to drive, and rim "dropped" off, and that's the result.

It looks like the rear bumper and side skirts are ruined. Any other damage? Brake disc, suspension?
Do you have wheel locks?

I'm pleased to hear you are ok, that could have been real nasty. Good luck getting it sorted...

Yeah, we both are just fine. Thanks!
Side skirt, rear bumber, wheel, protection plate, wheel hub and brake disc, these are parts that they will change.
New plan: 5 sets on lock bolts.
I think, i'll buy new 20" rims now....

I've done a major mod to my car...
I bought a Bimmian "Brushed Alluminium" hand brake lever via Nerweezy (Nerwyll) @ Trinity.
Its obviously made a huge improvement to performance, I think I could beat a 550i now. If I had gone for the Carbon finish, I think I could even beat an M5
Its a close colour match to the iDrive knob and auto-shifter, but not 100%. Seeing as the iDrive, auto-shifter and Alu-Cube Trim are all slightly different shades anyway, its not an issue. I'm really pleased with it.
Phone-camera pictures only I'm afraid and the car was dirty, but you get the idea
