Already bent one of my M5 reps
So, unfortunately, I already bent one of my F10 M5 reps. I was bored and decided to take a quick drive this evening. Rolling on the exit ramp from 75 north to 74 west in Cincinnati at about 50-60mph and BOOM! I hit a pothole that I never could have seen coming, loudest and hardest hit I've ever experienced in the car so far (hopefully ever). I turned around and drove another 4ish miles back home -- I didn't notice any vibrations or changes in the ride/steering afterward, but when I got home and ran my finger over the space between the tire and the lip of the wheels I felt a pretty noticeable bend about 2.5-3 inches long on the lip of the front passenger side wheel.

Sorry to hear about the rim man. I've had quite a few of those BOOM/BANG on potholes and bumps in the road. I haven't checked the wheels like you have, but I wouldn't be surprised if all my rims are bent. Luckily, I have the wheel/tire insurance. And since I have a nail in one of my tires, I'm gonna take it in soon.
