5 out of 5 stars BMW 540i Service Manual   February 24, 2006
This manual is indispensible for the home mechanic to do even the more basic checks and maintenance. A pretty complete coverage of all components allows for some of the more involved checks and R&R operations.


3 out of 5 stars Useful..but not the end all be all of repair for e39   February 1, 2006
The Bentley manual is definitly useful if you plan to do any sort of DYI maintenence on your e39. It is not the whole story though, and coverage is thin in areas. The Wiring diagrams in vol 2 are extensive but will probably not get much use from the average shade tree mechanic. Since there is no other resoruce for this info its better than nothing, but expect to supplement your knowledge with the ETK and DIS CD's available on various auction sites to get a full understanding of more intricate repair work.


4 out of 5 stars Excellent Overall Manual   September 3, 2005
  14 out of 14 found this review helpful

Look, let's face it. BMWs are getting increasingly complicated. If you really want to break down your engine completely, maybe you shouldn't be working with such an advanced piece of hardware. (The analogy is like a woodworking hobbyist attempting to build an office building.) So it makes sense that the manual doesn't cover the process of rebuilding an M62 engine to the Nth degree. I've had 9 BMWs and 9 Bentley manuals. My only replacement engine came from a crate. What this manual does cover is the practical aspects of maintianing and servicing your own car, including troubleshooting dozens of issues and maintaining many body, electrical, mechanical, engine and transmission parts and functions. For that purpose it is a great manual.

The second volume all about the electrical system and is almost entirely schematics. Every single wire in every year of every version of the E39 is identified. This may seem like overkill, but I can tell you when you are trying to isolate an electrical problem and need to trace one of the hundreds of wires in the harness it absolutely is not. It's a blessing.

Even if you don't work on your car, do you trust your BMW dealer or mechanic? I thought so. My local BMW dealer is full of "BMW recommends that you replace..."garbage. Buy this manual and you can be sure you'll keep him honest. The next time he makes a recommendation that doesn't seem right. Check it out in your book. Chances are the you'll recover more than the cost of the book in your first visit to your mechanic....if you ever go back.




3 out of 5 stars Very disappointed   June 12, 2004
  21 out of 24 found this review helpful

The books claim to address the M52 and M62 engines. Not a word about the subassemblies of either engine(the biggest part of an engine) The same information seems to be repeated in several places in the book. Gives the impression they are trying to make up volume. I believe the hype aboute the book is misleading since the publisher claims they strived for completeness. You cannot claim to cover an engine and then leave the largest part of it unattended. Price tag quite stiff with an ommision like that. E-mailed Bentley several times no response. In comparing this to the Bentley book on the E30 - It is a shame at the price.
