DIY Repair Post-Accident

I recently got into a wreck and I need help with fixing my car out of pocket. I need any tips or anything of value that I can learn to repair my car. This is an extreme DIY for me who is still learning the 2010 BMW. I already have a new front bumper and headlight for this car after the wreck but in need of a fender.
Here are pictures of the damages. I also have a picture of the pieces scavenged from the wreck. Links or replies to where I can get new fenders would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like you'll need to check stuff related to the wheel as well. Looks like it took a bit of a hit. I would suggest getting the alignment checked. The dent on the rear panel looks like it can be pdr. In all honesty, looks like to you hit something with a lot of rubber hard, maybe a tire wall? You can probably buff out the black scuffs on the rear passenger quarter and the door handle. I would also suggest looking at where the fender and bumper meet as there could be unseen damage there. There are two screws that hold the bumper up and they maybe have broken the tabs off. Various screws, clips. That is all I see so far, but there could be more.

I would get M3 replica front quarter panels. ECS sells them.
