Hit curb

[Fish999]

While making a u-turn tonight, I hit a curb and scratched up one of my wheels. The car drove fine but seemed to pull a little to one side. Should I pay to have the tire balanced and maybe even get the car aligned. Also, what do I do about the messed up wheel?

Good idea. Pulling to one side might be indicative of an alignment problem and vibration, a balancing problem..
Also, what do I do about the messed up wheel?
Just exchange it with the full size spare. Note: on a 330i SP, the spare is the size of the front wheel only.

Another option is to repair (I have read this somewhere on this forum) or replace the wheel for between $300 and $400.
