Retrofitting Carplay Into Early 2015 M4, Help!

I want to upgrade to a OEM touchscreen and headunit. I want to use the factory Bluetooth and do not want a Android screen. Where do I start and what do I need?

you need an NBT EVO ID5 or ID6 unit with an apix2 screen, also a vin from your car would be useful as to see what headunit it has now.
after retrofiting nbtevo(it can be a used unit ofc) it needs to be adapted to your car and then carplay can be activated

Would this work?

would be cheaper in my experience
