How many times a month/year are you guys hitting a pothole in your M3/M4?

After 1 year I finally hit a pothole with my 2018 F80 ZCP 666 wheels in Sports Suspension Mode and it felt my front suspension was ripped out of the chassis.
I checked afterwards and no damage to rim but no wonder some folks put 19 or 18 inch wheels on the car.

I can't say I've hit anything that hard yet, but I do find the suspension tuning seems to do a good job with the rough sections, doesn't feel worst than my E92 M3 with 19''

Whoever drives behind me probably thinks I'm drunk because I swerve all over to avoid every single bump - no matter how small - in the road. Once in awhile I do hit one and it feels and sounds like the car is going to fall apart.

I don't have visible damage to the wheels or bubbles in the tires but does anyone know how much of a beating the 666s and suspension can take?

Coming from a Lexus I really have no idea of what constitutes an "oh shit, that hurt" moment because every bump is that moment!
