Disappointing,
By Sergio BMW (London,U.K) - See all my reviews
This review is from: BMW 3-Series, 1992-1999: MRP Autoguide (Paperback)
ASIN:1899870482 BMW 3-Series, 1992-1999: MRP Autoguide (BMW 3-Series)
Well this book is definitely not intended for a true 3 series BMW enthusiast, as its content is full of inaccuracies,contradictions and sometimes the author will give you a good laugh when you read something like this: describing a compact model, in particular the steering wheel ''looked more bulky and not as delicate'' in fact the author was talking about one of the most desirable and of all M sports leather steering wheels which was available in later models and was an expensive option. A bit disappointing...

Unbelievable!,
By A Customer
This review is from: BMW 3-Series, 1992-1999: MRP Autoguide (Paperback)
OK, I haven't read this book, but I just had to comment on the cover. The cover shows an E46 BMW 3-Series (Produced 1999-2006), even though the book is about the E36 model (1990-1998).This unbelievable carelessness would put me off giving this book a try. A pity, as it may be a good book inside that cover...

BMW E36; A British Review,
By N. King - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: BMW 3-Series, 1992-1999: MRP Autoguide (Paperback)
This was my second purchase for my 318is, the first being the "BMW 3 Series Service Manual 1992-1998" by Bentley. Excited about my first European car and wanting to know everything about it, I read the book nearly end to end.
There are several cutaway drawings that show how the suspension and engines work. I would guess nearly 70% of the pictures are of right hand drive models. The names "boot" and "bonnet" are used to describe the trunk and hood throughout. All of the technologies are explained, from the 1.6L engine, to VANOS and the M3 models. Production numbers, assembly locations, engine specs are all covered in good detail. Even dimensions are covered for all models. Other models covered are the convertibles, wagons, hatchback, and the Z3 are touched upon. One item of interest is even the warning about the low fog lights and that they can be easily damaged. There is little in the way of racing and a chapter each on the M3 and hatchback or TI models. If you are an M3 enthusiast look for another book. I wouldn't say this is the best read for the E46, the last twenty pages cover the new model and how it came about from the E36. For a book published in 2000, it is well written and covers the models very well. Perhaps the most comprehensive book for someone who is new to BMW and logically explains the cars. I recommend this book for anyone new to BMW and is looking to join a club or be knowledgeable when people ask about your car or when you are at the repair shop. |
