Hi guys
Driving to see family today at about 7am I managed to break my E46 pretty badly in a pothole. It was still dark at that time and was on an NSL road, so didn't see it until it was too late.

Over 2.1m long (over 1m wide and about 7 inches deep at the edge)

Damage is both near side rims are buckled, and as you can see in the photos, the two driver side airbags have deployed.
Anyone got any idea as to how much this might be to fix? I got the car recovered by the RAC, but will give my insurance company a ring tomorrow when they're open.
Hopefully I may be able to recoup the cost from the council, as the Police who coned off the pothole mentioned that the pothole had already been reported.
It's certainly the biggest pot hole I've ever some across!
