E90 M3 differential problem

Hey guys! So a little big accident happened to me yesterday. Was driving on the highway, as I was going up the bridge didn't see some garbage on the road, when I saw it was too late to maneuver. Looks like some metal piece was laying there and it whipped my differential cooling fins and broke the cover off. Since it was a bridge I couldn't pull over and had to driver for another mile or so. Didn't see a lot of smoke coming out of it, but still differential was engaged without oil for some time. Obviously towed it back home.

Anybody had that problem? Is it "fixable" or do I have to buy a new differential? Any suggestions on where to order one?

Thanks in advance!
