2018 BMW 340i — project-car budget is disappearing into little parts

The shell and drivetrain were the exciting purchases; now brackets, hoses, bushings, fittings and hardware are eating the budget. How do you sequence a build so the car gets running before cosmetic scope takes over?

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2018 BMW 340i before a big repair or a big spend. I'd do that before spending real money. Verbal 'we'll take care of it' is not a plan. Doing the boring step first on purpose.
