car swerving to the left

had an accident on my rear passenger side, all the control arms broke and axle was also broken. changed all the parts out and now i notice that the car tends to swerve to the left so i have to turn the steering wheel 90 degrees to the right at most times to keep the car stable, cant drive past 30mph bc it starts to lose control, yellow brake and dcs light comes on, i just installed brand new brakes for the car. nearest bmw shop is about 20 miles away from the house, idk what to do, also, i see that there's a small dent from the inside of the wheel

its time for a professional to look at your car before you hurt someone or yourself on the road.

I agree with the others. There is likely something else broken that requires a professional to diagnose and repair.

Tow that thing and get it fixed properly. You're in way over your head. At the very least a shop with actual BMW software because clearly your steering angles are out to lunch.

Toe is probably way out, point your steering wheel straight and rig up a line. A half inch out on any wheel will cause this..

Try getting an alignment focusing on the rear wheels. As you had incurred damage, you may have bent more than the items you have replaced.
