Have one already, but nice share.

I have got the Haynes BMW 3-series '99 thru '05 listed here. Got mine cheaper through Kalahari.net.
This print is average imo - not detailed enough with tips etc.
Perhaps I just expected more from an autobook.
Print is "softcover telephone book style".
It still contains handy information for the keen DIY'er such as wiring diagrams etc.

The Bentley manual looks better, from the extracts I have seen, but who wants to fork out more the 1000 bucks for an autobook?
Then again I suppose it will pay itself in good time.

I still like having a physical book that I can page through and have next to me while working on the car.

I agree... dragging a computer screen around the garage ain't as much fun as it sounds :hammerhead:

And add an old digital compact for an odd greasy pic or two. Next time round the 30 minutes DIY only takes 10 minutes.
