The interior is out and the engine compartment is completely cleaned out and painted too. The car needed some body work when I got it so I replaced the panels and decided to go with the new color. Also, the wheels are LTW Empowers. They weigh ~19lb. Its at Orr's Autobody

Estoril is my favorite BMW blue. Awesome choice! Looking forward to seeing the final product.

Orr's is just up the hill from me, know it well. They do primo work I'd be curious to know how much they're charging for a full respray. Next time you come out give me a shout and we'll meet.

I really like those wheels. They're a little brighter than most of that type. Good call.
