I don't think a Pirelli would've stopped that either 

This is the part where you try to go after whoever left that there/council, get rejected, then end up claiming on your own insurance and #### for someone else's negligence...

Looking at the damage - is it possible that the bolt has been punched through the tyre against the front of the swinging arm?   Have you checked that for damage?

No matter the financial cost - I think you have had a lucky escape.

I'd start looking at used wheels, BMW want probably close to 2 grand for OEM cast ones...
