Guys - we're all speculating. In my view, the arm deformed downwards because of it's profile, the top would've collapsed (outwards, but still a collapse), then it's got nowhere to go but down.
Whatever happens, mikey, you didn't bend it, you didn't curb it or crash it, and the car was purchased through BMW/Used car and should've been A1. It's either a fault on the previous garage for not spotting a defective/crash damaged part, or a design fault.
Whichever way, IMHO, Soper's should put it right (either through BMW warranty), especially as you have been a such good customer.
Certainly do not mention dynos and tie downs!.
