Have to decide now on how to get it fixed - basically want the wheel to look 'good as new'. The Wheel Specialist that dan mentioned looks interesting, only hassle is the nearest branch is about 30 miles away so there's the logistics. Alternative is my local dealer - they can provide a courtesy car or drop me back home and will store the car securely overnight if need be, but I wonder - can they make it look like new?
Take it to a BMW body shop. Don't cut corners.
Not much in the price difference between BMW & mobile repairers.
The only problem with BMW is that you have to leave the car with them for a day. You obviously haven't got a spare tyre to put on the car whilst the alloy is being repaired. Another disadvantage of run flats !
