I just detailed my brand spanking new Le Mans Blue 335i. Saved myself a few hundred bucks, minus a hundred or so for supplies. Lots left over though, so I'll be able to do this a half dozen times more for only a small additional cost.

Order of operation:
1) Wash with Z7
2) Clay with Mothers Clay and Mothers Showtime QD (kit from CT). I ended up using the entire bottle, plus a little Z6 to finish the job.
3) Wash with Z7 again
4) Z2 + ZFX
5) Z6
6) Z2 + ZFX
7) Z6
8) Enjoy that beautiful shine

It came out absolutely perfect, and running a finger across the paint feels awesome. I can't believe how much a brand new car needs clay - it seems to me that BMW should be doing this job at the dealer.
Glad your detail turned out great!! Congrats on the '11 335 as well. Sweet ride!
