I've seen these cheaper overseas. But this is the sort of item you are after. https://www.audiocity.co.nz/bmw-apple-carplay-android-auto-retrofit/bmw-3-series-apple-carplay-android-auto-upgrade-2012-2015.html

The 130i and it's N52 motor are very very well covered by Youtube help videos. You would be far better off with a BMW than a VW or anything from VAG both due to ease of maintenance and cost of maintenance. I picked up my 130i manual for $3K. As you're beginner I would recommend one at least double that value. I'm changing clutches etc.

If ordering from spareto who are by far the fastest with the cheapest shipping. Then make sure your orders are under $1000nzd including shipping for each order. This way you will avoid GST and hundreds of dollars of customs fees. Use realoem.com to find the correct part numbers.

NZ New. Option sparse. But you don't see many in good condition for sale these days.

Wholly shiii. ATE ones are 23Euro each.. Awesome car. Hope you enjoy working on it.

Could well be. Mentions he got it for $6K. Not bad.

I see the kiwi car life guy has got another manual 130i. Can't stay away from them.

No he's a youtuber based in Illinois.

Oh that's rough. It must have been fatigued already.

Woh. How did you manage that?

The real hero of that Video.

My issue is I have hardly driven the car with the DMF. Though I did find the gear changes quite soft and a bit lazy. All my other manuals have modified clutches though so I can't really compare them something that is meant to be quite nice to drive.

Yeah SMF conversion. The rear main seal is leaking pretty bad. Oil coming out between the engine and box. This gets onto the flywheel and causes it to slip badly. It should always be replaced when replacing the clutch. I forgot to get the sealant kit you need with it.

Changed out the valve cover gaskets on the PFL 130i today. Simple job. Someone's done it before and reinstalled the partially stripped bolts you are meant to replace. I pulled out the CCV valve and replaced it with a baffled catch can too. The old one had been boogied up and was dropping oil everywhere. I have to say. As annoying as it is to have a built into the cover one on the FL models I much prefer it to having to pull the manifold off to get to the PFL one. Next on the list is the clutch. Which I think has been killed by a leaking rear main. Start that tomorrow.

It was a comfortable fit for me at 6ft and 100kgs. You would not want to be much bigger though.

From what I have read the pump can be replaced without touching the module. You just need to run the dcs adaptation things via insta. The module will need to have the Vin coded to it. Do you know what they are using to program the modules? Hopefully not bricked them. @promo might be able to recover them for you.

Did the dsc module fail or the abs pump fail? What are you using to program the module?

I feel like Dave @M3AN did this.

The N47 had some serious timing chain issues which were fixed around 2011. I would look into this some more and make sure it is not one of the older generation motors. But 150,000kms for a BMW diesel is nothing.
