Anyone know how many yards to get? I found one place that has what I want for color, 5 foot x 75 foot. wont be doing the roof...I know a lot will be wasted but I just need a good jumping off point.

5 x75ft will be more than enough. I bought 5 x 50ft but I barely had enough to do everything excluding the roof. I got a separate 5 x 5ft gloss metallic black for my roof. Part of me wishes I had the extra 25 ft to redo the parts the got messed up.

75ft is enough. My E92 was done with 20 meters so ~65 ft. excluding the roof and there was a little left over. 50 ft. is the bare minimum without making any mistakes and cutting pieces properly. The thing is that some of the pieces have to be really long - from the A pillar to the rear taillight for example - so if you mess one of those up, you lose a lot of material.
