Known issues on the 2009 130i. Most of what a car of this age needs is repair work rather than the diagnosis of a defect, and the manual is arranged for that. It documents engine mechanical procedures and the fuel, ignition and cooling systems around them, transmission and driveline service, brake and suspension replacement with torque values, and steering adjustment. Electrically, the hatchback's lighting, climate and restraint circuits are drawn as full diagrams, and the diagnostic sections state the values a working circuit should return under test.
