Book Reviews of BMW 3 Series (E46) Service Manual: 1999-2005
Book Review: how to keep your BMW alive and out of the hands of the grease monkeys
Summary: 5 Stars
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
