Hi all

I know Haynes don't do a manual (yet, here's hoping!) for BMW E39's and as someone else was asking about a manual for their older style 520, can anyone suggest a source for a technical manual for my E39.  Its a 98 S 523iSE.

I was thinking about buying the Haynes Manual for the Series 3 from 98 onwards as this would at least cover my 2494 lump. How much else would be relevant from this Haynes manual to my E39? 

Andrew

Thanks for that

If one had £110 to spend on it how do you buy it from Bentleys?  Are they on line or do have a telephone number?

I have just taken delivery of the Bentley E39 manual

Two whole volumes, one of which is just circuit diagrams!

I bought it off amazon.com (not co.uk) and paid £71. Amazon themselves weren't as cheap as the specialists comapanies they linked me through to. Arrived promptly too.
