Interior Damage from a garage fire !!!! crying over here

HOT OFF THE PRESS, literally. Had a garage fire last week and thankfully was home and was able to concur it with my garden hose believe it or not ! BUT, the bimmer didn't make it out 100%. it was a sad scene, having to fight this fire, shooting water over the car (and some on/into it), while watching it get melted upon from the soldering garage door above it ! flaming drips of insulation ozzing onto it..UGGgghhh.. . . .waz a crazy experience indeed !

SOoo o o . . . .I'm reaching out to find the best way to help put her back together again. I'm in Phoenix and found a few places that have some bits here and there, but was curious if there were any tricks of trade per say to help the process along. Or a place that has the best selection for a 99 323ci... . . .

The fire was never ON the car, so it was all radiant heat that melted everything on the car itself, and the electric seems fine thus far. everything works, no glitches. Just gotta get going on the replacement parts and then a semi-custom interior now ! I"m gonna have a list of everything here soon. Panels, mirror(s), driver's seat, etc.

I"m also going to want to invest in some new paint as well, but not sure how to tell what service is good, and why ? quotes ranging from 2-6k. crazy.

Any advice is welcome!



The pics say it all. .. .
