More details would probably help. "Kline"? Exhaust, maybe

Hard to imagine anything head unit or OBD with Kline suspension – the most common Kline around here.

Okay, so I'll try to decipher this here as there is clearly a language barrier to overcome.

By kline, I assume you mean K-line or K-CAN bus/diagnostics protocol. It's been ages since I did any meaningful work on E series, but isn't E87 D-CAN? DME might have the K-Line pin, but it's not connected to anything as far as I remember. K+DCAN cables should work, but K-Line dedicated most likely wont.

Not sure what are you referring to as head unit, but older BMW's had their gateways integrated to KOMBI (gauge cluster). If that is out, then bus users on other networks can't communicate, nor can you see them with diagnostic tools.

Thanks for clarification. Does the car and its features, other than head unit related, actually work? If yes, then that would indicate HU indeed does play some sort of a gateway role for diagnostics equipment. Or you might have damaged some wiring during the works.

K-line was used until 2007/03 manufactured e90 e91 and e87
then it was removed and switch to D-CAN on different pins
so you need to clarify when you car is manufactured
