I was cleaning my wheel wells; and removing the excess rubbers that came from doing track and autocross; so I lifted up only the rear passenger side using bmw factory scissor jacks to start cleaning, then removed the hand brake to rotate the rear passenger wheel when the car moved forward a little bit and fell off the jack. I know I should have put blocks or something behind the front tires but I'm an idiot.

All four wheels were installed and tightly torqued when it fell off however, so that makes me feel a little better since i have upcoming track schedules. Is there anything I should be worried about? Keep and eye/hear out for? Be checking for right now?

Thanks for your help.

A friend told me he recommends a wheel alignment in cases like this. It also depends on how high the car was.
