you'll need a bittorrent client to download the manual from this link (i suggest azureus)...

http://perry1976.demon.co.uk:6969/torrents/Bentley_BMW_5-Ser ies_Service_Manual.pdf.torrent?D5F9F96B390149C8BC319CF443F1E F58595A4C00

bittorrent etiquette requests that users please keep "seeding" after the download has completed - the more "seeders" there are the quicker you'll get your files!

alternatively, you can download it directly from here:

ftp://perry1976.demon.co.uk/bentley_bmw_5-series_service_man ual.pdf

The only bad Haynes manual I've ever had was for my E34 (so the one this topic is about).

The Bentley manual was very good, and worth every penny.

All other Haynes manuals I've had were good, I was amazed at the E34 one.

I've just bought the Haynes for my bike...its brilliant !

Best Wishes

Nigel

Haynes manuals are very useful for starting a fire or placing between a
trolley jack and a sill. The old ones were superb and better than the very
expensive and slightly overrated Bentley manuals. The best BMW ones
were the old E30 (bright orange) ones pls the bright blue E28 and dark
blue E21 manuals. These old ones were over 400 pages thick and detailed
things like stripping gearboxes. You can buy them at autojumbles for a
fiver. Sadly there was never a decent old stype manual for the E34.

Then, for some reason, they became much thinner with not much actual
technical info and crammed with crap about passing the MOT. The
current one are indeed a bit poor.

I'm not overly enamoured with the Bentley manuals. They have their place
but I've often been forced to back to an oily old Haynes for a lot of stuff.

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!

I bought a Haynes one for a Volvo 480ES that I had about 10 years ago. It was absolutely brilliant for everything. There were times I did work on that car just because I had the instructions on how to do it.

I think it probably helped that mechanically all 4 series Volvos were the same and it was only the odd lekky bit on the 480ES that was any different.

That was a good book...much better than the actual car.
