Are you sure it's not in "Your New Shed"?

I agree, haynes is good for the odd few things but if you are short of paper to start your fire on the cold winter evenings.........

Bentley manual is tops, almost as if BMW wrote it themselves!

Get it, you won't be sorry!

Many people have said (on the forum) that the manual is pish.

I did get one off EBay for about 2 then sold it ! - I got another (free) with one of my older cars - sold that one on as well

If you do a bit of a search there is a link to download it in pdf format - it is useful for a few things but that's about it

TBH i think all the Haynes manuals i have owned have been terrible,the pictures are usually for left hand drive cars and never the car you have!!

I have heard people on here call it the Haynes comic book,now you know why!

Recenty bought the Haynes manual for the E30/E34. (To 1991).

Has to be the worst car service/repair maual I've ever seen. Gives nothing but sketchy details on a very limited number repairs mainly concerning the E30. Useless for E34 owners. Expensive too at 30.00.
