When drying, use either the water or a quick detailer (spray wax) to moisten the drying cloth or paint finish.
And don't do any of this in direct sun-light.

+1 on the bottle, but do not use tap water - it is full of minerals that will leave deposits. Buy a gallon of distilled water from the store - it has no minerals to leave behind.
OP - Congrats on the first BMW and a M235 as well! Since you are looking to take proper care of her and learn yourself, some other things to look into.
Clay bar and lube. You will want to clay the car as soon as possible. A number of sediments will get stuck in the clear coat while in transit. Claying is typically only necessary about once a year with good upkeep.
2 buckets, with guards. Look up 2 bucket washes, should be plenty of Google answers. Ammo NYC, Adams Polishes, and Chemical guys are all good youtube channels. More of an ad for their techniques, products are up to each personal preference.
Enjoy the rides!
