	It would be cheaper and better to source a spare rim from a Salvage company, or the various BMW breakers throughout the UK. Depends on the severity of the dent, some harsh dents can be repaired, but then it still costs a fortune with the repair and spraying costs! and then you loose a little bit of the strength in the repaired section of the wheel.

	The other suggestion I would make is if it is a council controlled road then they have an obligation to repair reported pot holes within a certain timespan. If it is reported and they have not repaired it within that time then you can claim their insurance for a new wheel, spring, strut etc if damaged. Rob
