Check the Bluetooth.. they are nearly all guaranteed to die and not cheap to fix. I've changed mine over twice, and the latest to a newer model (mulf2) that shouldn't die now. I got pedantic because I wanted the steering wheel button to work!
How many solenoids are there? Get OEM or aftermarket? Is it better to buy locally or what is the best overseas company?

The bluetooth (mulf2) is that BMW or aftermarket? Of course it is still working fine.

For suspension bits, local or os. Again what supplier.

Is our E87 suspension the same as the E82 or the US 128i?

Great info by the way.
