Undoing the damage...

[Meiac09]

My '06 E90 is a gorgeous car. Black Sapphire on Terra. However, the lady who I bought it from was married to a car salesman. Which only means one thing. Swirl Marks, and LOTS of them.
I bought a PorterCable machine and without passing the trunk have realized that I need guidance... and lots of it.
Any suggestions?

I would bring it to a good detailer and once the swirls are gone just maintain it properly yourself.

Don't know how far up you are in mooseland but here is a detail shop near Nashua that a buddy swears by

You certainly could. I had a black 330Ci a few years back and removed some swirl marks following some advice from one of the Autopia forums

....still was a PITA to do and better left to the detailers IMO unless you love doing this kind of stuff.

I got better things to do with my summer than wax on wax off
