After reading around a bit I am guessing it would cost around $2500 including everything. What is the best way to do this? Any of you guys ever paint a car 
?
?Unless you have a good connection with a body shop - you aren't getting anywhere near this effort for $2500.

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.

Well, it'd upgrade the paint job to be excellent status. What about the rest of the car (engine, interior).

plus bmw paints are a bit harder than say a lexus paint
id imagine a quality multi stage paint job with several layers of clear would start at $5k and go up to $10k
