If its like my 335i I got hit in at 60mph by a chick in a PT cruiser who ran a stop light... It moved / shifted the transmission. I was sore the next morning had a rash on my stomach / neck but within 5 days was 100% perfect. They really are great cars to be hit in (bmws)... I'm sure you'll be good soon enough soooma
Looks like about 20k+ of damage right there than if any trans damage instantly 20k+, add in your wheels and tires another 3-4k... I'm sure the car retails for 65k-80k he'd be right at or near totaled out.
They had my 335i at 25k of damage then they saw the trans issues and were like totaled.

Did you file a diminished value claim with the other parties insurance to get some of that back. I got a fat check ontop of all the repairs at an Audi approved/ certified aluminum / r8 facility. Couldn't have worked out better in my case.
Especially in the case of an M I'd make sure you contact his insurance company and say you're filing a diminished value claim if the total payout / repair fix + dinged carfax isn't sweet enough. Best 400 bucks I ever spent hiring a competent known in the industry here locally appraiser
