Exclamation Help on my 325i!!!

My car, a '03 325i (just over 2500kms odo), hit the curb when I was trying to drift in the streets today. The front&rear rims on the right side got deformed and the wheels on right are now in wrong angles. they look kinda terrible. The body didn't get much hurt except the right sideskirt needs to be replaced and the front fender needs a little paintwork on the side. I haven't brought the car to a mechanic yet and didn't take the wheels off as well. so I don't know if there could be anything wrong with the axle and brakes. It's in my garage now and I'm gonna try to move it tomorrow. So could anyone give some clues on how serious it might be and any advices on repairing...Will the hitting cause a lot of bads on the structure even those get repaired since the car has run only 2500? Shall I keep it and keep spending money and time on it or just sell it to get another car after repairing? Thanks!!!

Re: Help on my 325i!!!

1 probably an alignment may be needed. If your rims are bent there are companys that will straighten and paint them. Do you live in the US? In the US there is a company called wheelcollision.com i think in pennsylvania they repair wheels do a good job on them. Check underneith car look around for any damage. Dont give up on the car just because a curb shot. Cars are in horrific collisions and are put back together and run ok. This is a small thing in comparison to hitting another. Your car will be fine just check it over and check the alignment see if it pulls to one side or not

Suspension hits are really ugly looking, but they are usually not hard to fix. It just depends on how hard you hit. You will definitely need two new wheel bearings though.
