Hit pothole - can this be fixed or should I order a new rim?

Hi,

just bought this F32 440i Gran Coupe a few days ago. A few miles into my journey I hit a pretty bad pothole near Fremont CA on the freeway.
The left front wheel is now visibly bent and the tire a bit damaged. Driving-wise it's not really noticably at the moment, but something I should probably get fixed.

Question:
Can this type of wheel/rim damage be fixed/straighened or not?

New wheel rim would cost $499+tax (that's the cheapest I could find):

Haven't had the time to take it to a shop yet, but if you're convinced that this needs to be replaced instead of fixed I'd order the wheel already ahead.
I understand the tire needs to be replaced regardless.
