 HORRIBLE book for E46 M3s - DO NOT BUY! November 2, 2008
I have a 2002 E46 M3 and got this manual for help with small projects. I previously had a 1993 325i and a 1984 318i and I used Bentley manuals for both of those cars and found the books to be very helpful.
Not so with the E46 M3. Put simply, I have tried to use the book to help with maybe 5-6 projects and EVERY single time the information in the Bentley manual was either: 1.) completely unless (i.e., for one of the steps it will say "remove navigation screen" but then give zero information about how to do that); or 2.) completely wrong.
I am truly shocked that this book is advertised as containing useful information about M-series cars...that's just 100% false. Since I haven't tried using it with non-M cars I have no idea if it's useful or accurate for those vehicles. However, if you have an M car and you are thinking about buying this book to help you with projects, FORGET IT! Just Google stuff and look for blogs with M-specific instructions.
 Great Manual October 3, 2008
What a great manual. I have used Chilton and Haynes manuals all my life and I recently bought a BMW and needed a manual for it. I found this one and although it costs more than the others, it is by far the best manual I have ever used. It's very detailed and lots of photos. You will be happy with this purchase.
how to keep your BMW alive and out of the hands of the grease monkeys August 7, 2008
Having just acquired a BMW coupe, purely by chance, one felt that a guide book to the wonderful world of Bavarian technology was essential. After all they do not make bicycles, though if they did one would need a degree to service them. The modern BMW is designed by engineers who have both the ability to be extremely simple in their approach while at the same time cloaking their complex systems in a simple smooth stylish exterior. (I exclude all bangled designs from this last comment) The Bentley book gives one an opening into this world allowing exploration without falling into elephant traps; an educational glimpse of modern automobile technology written in easy to read English with helpful diagrams, pictures and instructions. Supplementing this heavy tome with easily accessed DIY internet sources like E46 fanatics etc will enable one to care for your pride and joy without plumbing the depths of depression and your bank account. Read, learn and inwardly digest and enjoy
Good Service Manual May 31, 2008
This is a very complete and comprehensive servicemanual for anyone who doesn't really know much about the technology underneath the hood (or anywhere else in the car for that matter). If you know what exactly is wrong with your car, bets are this manual will help you fix it.
Bentley's BMW manuals are superb May 19, 2008
I own multiple BMWs so I own multiple Bentley manuals to cover them. The updated E46 3 series manual is my most recent acquisition since my newest BMW is a 2004 330xi. The Bentley manuals cover more detail than most of their competitors, have good clear pictures, note the variations from year to year in the production run, and are well produced on good paper stock (or on CD media in some cases). If you maintain your own car and want to be able to do more than the most basic things, this is a must have. Even if you just want to understand how things fit together, it's a good resource.
