I have recently acquired a 1989 325i M-Sport Coupe and am looking for a Service Manual for it. The helpful people at BMW don't sell them unfortunately.

What do people here on the E30 forum use to maintain their pride and joy?

Oh would that I had such a helpful dealer...

Barrons of Farnborough helpfully told me that they no longer make them in paper (but I bet they have old ones they don't want!) and all the manuals now come on CD. He said the CD-ROMs "would cost hundreds of pounds" if BMW would sell them, which they won't!

Remind me again how much a blank CD costs...

Just use the Haynes manual for the car the service details written in that are just the same and they only cost £12.

Try Club Librarian David Leake - he has a Bentley manual, and probably glovebox handbook (reprint?) available.
