Exactly what I need, good quality too

I drive this BMW, and DIY as much as I'm able to. This manual provides answers as to whether or not I WANT to DIY a project, and if not it provides information as to how intensive possible work is. Worth the money for me.Binding and printing quality is very good.

Must have!

Bentley manuals are a 'must have' for any BMW owner. Whether you are a DIY weekend mechanic, or just want to familiarize yourself better with your BMW, the Bentley is the BEST manual out there. Chilton's and the other ones are 'ok' but these are the best. I do all my own wrench work on my cars and between the forums and these books, it helps me get the job done. I also have the Bentley for my E36 M3, and it has helped me do work on the car for years. If anything, it gives you all the torque specs for basically every bolt on the car, which is invaluable for a detailed home mechanic like myself. If you own any older BMW's these books are a no-brainer.

Great Shop Manuals...

Even if you just do basic repairs or routine service to your car, the Bentley manuals are the only real game in town. They are copied directly from BMW original manuals and are very detailed. When I first got my 528, one of the cup holders failed in the back seat. The manual showed me an easy way to remove them. I also chose to replace the center arm rest and trying to figure that out without the manual would have been impossible. With the manual it was a 10 minutes affair. These two items paid for the cost of the manuals and the manuals add to the value of my car when and if I sell it.Only downside is some major maintenance issues require the use of BMW Special Service Tools and they can be found at Richmond BMW (along with great prices on parts) at 800-237-0130A must-have item if you own a screwdriver!UPDATE: Richmond no longer sells wholesale to the public. My PS reservoir return line just leaked ATF fluid on my alternator, resulting in a nice "burning plastic smell" as the alternator heated up. I ordered a BOSCH re-man alternator from [...] for $200 and, with my manuals, got the car all back in tip-top shape. These manuals are a must have. Last year I replaced all the belts and idler-tensioners along with water pump and hoses when I did my radiator. Total cost: $400. That same service would have run about $2500 at a dealer.

Excellent source of knowledge for BMW repairs

I bought this manual when I decided it was time to start doing my own maintenance on my 5 series. My brake wear indicator came on showing that I was in need of brake pads and rotors, so having this book was invaluable when the time came to do the job. I had done some checking on dealer prices and found that a brake job can run anywhere from $800 - $1200. With the help of this manual, I did it myself for the cost of the parts and a few hours of work. The manual is rather expensive, but I saved about four times as much just on the brake job. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to work on their own cars.

coverage a bit too broad

The E39 manual is okay, but as I drive a 2003, it isn't specifically included. But it's still an E39. However, the book is better than nothing. You just have to be prepared to decipher what is applicable, and what is not regarding your particular model and year. Many of the photos are not recognizable.The real weak part is the electrical. Connection points not identified or just totally ignored in the index. Often the part is not where the book says it should be located. Perfect case in point: the engine electrical relay box beneath the pass.side air filter. The photo is not even close to the actual.As I said, it's just too broad of a subject I suppose to cover accurately.

540i Service Manuals

It says 1997-2002 but if you have a 2003 E39 these service manuals have you covered. These manuals are relatively comprehensive; they don't have BMW part numbers - but [...] does, nor does it take you through rebuilding your manual transmission. But it will help you get the transmission out. There are lots of pictures, specifications, BMW special tools (lots of those) and more. If you think you are likely to do any kind of maintenance, change the clutch or just want to know more about what makes these cars special, you won't go wrong by buying this set.

failure to ship entire purchase

I received volume 1 but no volume 2. Very disappointed considering the advertisement is for both

BMW e39 Bentley Reapri manual set

This manual is a 2 book set, first book is mechanical, second book is electrical with all of the wiring diagrams.The manual is well layed out, torque specs are where and when needed instead of having to go to a tag elsewhere.There was a mistake in the shipping, the seller communicated immediately and simply, and took care of the problem instantly. I would recommend this manual and this seller.
