e36 Service item list - Any online resources?

[Just-ify]

Hi folks

I'm looking at servicing my e36 (316i) myself and was wondering where I could get hold of the BMW service list (items that get replaced at set milage)?

Also, would you recommend against using generic (midas etc) parts?

Thanks again,
J

There is a list in the service book . I could scan it next week , it gives each service eg oil , inspection I and II .
I find oil and air filters from the dealer are sometimes cheaper than midas . I may wear my fanatics cap - gets me 15 % discount at dealer !!!!
Good luck .

Hey there - no I didn't... But going to try a few workshops here in Durban to see what preventative maintenance needs to be done when. Few cosmetic things I need sorting and then there is a casette stuck in the radio (sigh)... Cars - can't live with them can't live without them!
