Car got hit while parked

Mixed emotions, from super angry to its only a car. Some girl took the keys from a VW Golf and smashed into about 4 cars (she is 15). How bad this looks to you for fixing, this axle that broke is it a big deal to replace? Car has adaptive suspension and active steering.

Left wheel was straight while parked, so the right one got hit hard.

Thankfully nobody was hurt.

Viewing your photos, new door, fender, paint then "wheel" if it's scraped/bent might as well since it's a new vehicle, as for under body and suspension components I'd have somebody lift it and disassemble it for a well off inspection.

Let claims handle it and enjoy a loaner for a couple of weeks

Thanks! Just heard that I will get a loaner from free (from BMW in Netherlands). That is not a common practice everywhere, as I am new to the Netherlands, I have yet to make contacts with the dealer. Nobody got hurt, a lot of kids on bicycles here, so that is great. I think I was the only one at the scene who actually asked if the girl who drove is alright too (she is, but got arrested).

Brutal...I too would be pissed to return to my car find that. Could have been a lot worse though, and I'm glad to hear that no one was hurt. I came back to my vehicle last year to find my mirror smashed and laying in the middle of the road...guess someone got a wee bit too close. And to boot, my mirrors are always folded in when parked!
