I had the time while my friend was out of town to focus on the main areas of concern, and since his #1 priority was the smell of smoke I used the Dakota Non-Smoke spray and let it work for a day. The results were fantastic -- the car sat in my driveway closed up for the next few days and the smell never came back.
Overall the process was
Interior - All Purpose Cleaner+ 4:1 (could have used a stronger dilution and may still not have been enough), every brush I own, and Natural Shine protectant
Wheels/Tires – Wheel brightener and APC+
Engine Bay – Pressure wash the hood liner, hose the engine, APC+ everything else, finish with All Season Dressing
Wash – Two buckets, grit guards, NXT wash
Clay – with Last Touch as lube
Headlights – 1000/1500/3000 wet-sanding, Wool mini-pad with 105, Foam mini-pad with PlastX to finish
Paint – Everything I have hear about BMW was true… it is hard as nails. My DA buffer, burgundy 2.0 pad, 105 at speed 5.9 combination barely made a dent
Finished with NXT 2.0 on DA and black 2.0 pad
Trim/Tires - All Season Dressing
