Well guys, it happened. The heart removal has occurred, and I took pics of some of the interior panels after repairs!
Here you go! Enjoy, and NEVER pull a motor out this way. I should have just used the engine hoist and separated the sub-frame. My friend who was helping almost lost his fingers! It wasn't worth the time saved not removing the engine mounts and stuff to lose the time dealing with trying to hold and stabilize 10 things at once!
Here are some pics of the new window tint:

Pulled and naked M3 pics!:
Talk about some caster! haha, I reiterate,
Do not do it this way! It sucked, we dropped the motor off a jack, and my friend smashed his fingers saving the intake manifold, throttle body, and dipstick tube.
Well that's all for now, I was completely exhaust after pulling the motor. Next up is some simple stuff:
-Relocating the ti battery to the rear
-Mounting the M wheel.
-Hoisting the motor and removing/cleaning the accessories.
-Repairing the wiring harness where PO shredded it for the 3.5" HFM.
-Prepping for paint
-Ordering a bunch o' parts
-Cleaning up the bay to factory immaculateness.
-Removing the M3 rear subframe, suspension, brakes, and diff.
-Installing additional motor mods, like 24Lb injectors.
-Installing the motor
