when your wheel falls off......*now with a pictorial explanation*
 
alright last night i thought i was shumacher and i spun out coming out of a turn on some leaves and hit a curb and my ------- wheel fell off. I hit the curb at like 60ish, it was stupid you don't need to tell me again i was smacking my self. Any way i hit the curb sideways with the rear pass wheel in between two trees no less. But what do you break when the actual wheel breaks in like that? My buddy put it on his uncles tab and had the thing flat bedded before anyone even drove by. I don't even think i'm gonna pay for it because this kid owes me a decent amount of money but i just want to know what he's replacing because if it screws with the car that much i might end up selling it.

Did the same thing essentially, in my hatch. Ended up replacing the whole rack and pioion, rear hub, rear LCA's, front wheels, tires, etc.

I promise you you need more than a new wheel, if you bolt it up and it looks ok then take it in for a 4 wheel alighnment to see how bad you fucked up. :P

It could be very serious or it could be kinda serious. Either way you really fucked something up. Wheels aren't supposed to fall off. :P

You hit the rear, and your car is RWD, so that rear end might have seen better days. I'm guessing a BMW axle isn't cheap. :-X Take some pictures for us. We always need some new "PwN3d" pictures. :P

i did something dumb like that once with a toyota 86' celica a long time ago but the strut was the only thing that broke. i wasn't going as fast as you though, maybe 30mph pulling the ebrake and trying to drift in the rain before anybody even heard about drifting and the back passenger side tire hit a curb.
