Question 328i - Restoration makeover suggestions [pics included]

Hey all,

I took the liberty to search around here to see what others have done with issues that are very similar to mine, but I wanted to get a second opinion for my case specifically, just to confirm I'm on the right path.

I've got a one-owner 2010 328i that is in desperate need of detailing work. I've been trying my best to keep the car 'manageable' for the past few months, but there still remains a lot of things that desperately need attention, and I haven't really a clue if I should find an indy shop for some of these issues or if I can take care of most of them myself.

With that out of the way, here are some pictures of what I'm working with, it's mainly interior stuff that I think I can do with the right product, but I fully expect some things that are, in all likelihood, 9+ year-old stains to not fully be removed. On the other hand, the exterior scuffs, scratches, etc. are where I'm most unsure of what to do. Any help regarding these things would be appreciated!

Hunt around on real oem parts diagrams for those rubber seals. They are relatively cheap and you could do it yourself.

i had a 328i6 a couple months ago its a good car to get around with, most of the work you posted is really diy stuff and its really rewarding to spend a couple hours cleaning up and interior.
