Format:Paperback
This book is invaluable to any 3 series owner, especially those with the later models incorporating the M52 engine. I have been an avid fan of the Haynes manuals for many years but they have no plans to produce a Workshop manual for the later 3 series cars. The book has been written for the US market, hence the terms Hood,Trunk and Fenders, however, that in no way detracts from the wealth of information available. The drawings are of high quality, as are the photographs and electrical diagrams.

There are many special tools required to work on these sophisticated cars and it would have been worth the time and trouble to details possible alternatives, or show how some of these tools could be manufactured by the dedicated DIY mechanic.

All things taken into account, this book offers a wealth of information, and in the absence of any other publication, a must for the BMW 3 series owner.

While this manual has definite value to a 3 series owner, there are some drawbacks.

The schematics are good overall, but it did not cover later model cellular phone factory installed pre-wiring, for example. Also, the technique for removing the center console is vague (the Haynes book is better in this regard). I also noticed a photo of the dashboard was not even from a 3 series??

However, the book contains a lot of good information, which is not available elsewhere.

I recommend, it, but don't expect a factory shop manual.

These manuals are a must for any circuit diagram enthusiast. Otherwise, they tell you what to need to know in typical US style. It's intimidating enough to lift the bonnet of an M3 without actually getting the socket-set out.
