When I did my M635CSi, I just bought new wings - they were only about £30 each from the dealer. Assuming it's front arches? If it's rear arches, as long as it's not too bad, it shouldn't cost too much to have it cut out and repaired properly.

Front wings:
If you do go that route, just be careful which you buy - there are arches with and without the hole for the indicator repeater. The ones without can be a lot cheaper if you want to cut the whole yourself!

As long as it's not too bad, shouldn't be too much.
