Rating: Summary: A word of caution about these reviews Review: Be wary of these reviews, as not all of them are about thisbook. Amazon have made a mistake and the reviews shown here have beencombined with the ones for the book 'BMW 5 Series: Service Manual,1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988: 528e, 533i, 535i, 535is'. In the review from Canada, dated Oct 27 1998, Amazon state that it is from the 'Paperback edition'. In fact the book on the 1982-1988 cars concerns the E28 model 5 Series whereas the book on the 1989-1995 cars is about the E34 model 5 Series. They are completely separate books, not just different editions of the same book. END tr[17~
Rating: Summary: Excellent Owner Support Manual Review: Compared to the Haynes, this book gives excellent photographs, warnings on appropriate procedures, tool and chemicals to make the job easier and a section on easy to build test equipment to help in diagnostics. Coupled with BMW's Mobile Tradition CDROM covering illustrations and part numbers, this book will save the owner significant repair costs over a BMW dealership service department or after-market repair facility. This is a MUST OWN for anyone interested in becoming involved in simple maintenance or more complex tasks to reduce the cost of owning a great performing German automobile. Bentley Publishers excels over other reference print materials.
Rating: Summary: 524 TD BMW Review: I AM LOOKING FOR A SERVICE REPAIR BOOK ON A 524 TD BMW. IF ANYONE HAS ANY SUGGESTION WHERE I MAY FIND ONE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW.... THANK YOU.
Rating: Summary: A word of caution for diesel repairers! Review: I may be the only dissenting voice, but having bought the book, I am disappointed that it does not cover my 1995 525 TDS - it therefore does not, in my humble opinion, deserve the accolades of "comprehensive" and "completeness" that you may read about it. I am unable to service my engine with information from this book - I don't know which oil to use, how to change the timing belt, and so on. It is fine on the rolling shell; brakes, suspension and such, but think once, or twice, before you buy if you want to service a diesel - this book won't be any great help.

Rating: Summary: 5 series manual for 7 series Review: i use the book for the e32 m60 built 1992 and find it the best book for the 7 series on the market.lots of hints even for the german owners, especially on the diagnostics, which is not available for the bmw s in germany.even dissmantling the m60 v8 which i never did before did not show any problems. a bit more on the electronocs in the car would be good, like the pdc system or the theft control and board computers
Rating: Summary: That you need! Review: In these days, buying a car is like buying a computer software. You pay for the right to use it. And if something goes wrong, you get a minimun off help. This book can help you and save a lot off money, not having to go to the shop for every little thing. But still it's not complett. But still very usefull. Why spend $50 on the shop just to CHECK tho oil level in the transmission then you can do it yourself, with some help from the book.
Rating: Summary: E34 Service Manual Review: Pretty good with some repairs, but less than telling on others. Does not cover the M60 engine very well and it need more photos to accurately illustrate proceedures. Erroneous info regarding the thermostat, gasket, and housing re-assembly. No other manual is available so this is the best we have.

Rating: Summary: It's okay but not the best Review: Some of the information regarding repair is very superficial. There is no step by step instruction for some commonly performed tasks e.g; replacing spark plugs etc.
