My car was hit while parked - transmission question.

Hi everyone.

My X1 got hit today while it was parked. I did not engage the parking brakes.

I came back to my car and saw it on the sidewalk - roughly 20 feet from where it was parked. My rear end damaged and my passenger wheels are messed up from hopping the curb. One wheel also looks like it has a few degrees of negative camber.

Luckily the other party was still there and very cooperative when I arrived.

I had to start the car and drive it back onto the street. There were no problems. So I decided to drive it home instead of waiting for a tow truck. As I was driving, I was thinking how far my car moved while it was parked. I am not sure what I should do. Driving home, there were no problems. It felt very normal. But I am afraid there are things I can not see or will not surface till later on.

Any idea on what I should do? I am taking it to a body shop in a couple days but I am not sure if they would look for hidden issues, like in the transmission or suspension.

I thought getting my first door dent will put me past the baby stage. This is quite the jump!

Thanks in advance.
