Workshop manual

Post by Atle_323i »

I got the repair / workshop manual in english, but I miss the chapter 31, front axel. But I have managed to find the chapter in Dutch, but it´s tricky to read and translate it using Google.
So does anyone have that chapter in english? Does it even exist in english?

I managed to buy the paper workshop manual, but only book 1, which only covers chapter up to 26.

Thanks, but it´s the same manual as I already have, but it is missing the chapter 31. Front Axel, which I believe is something that is not scanned or has been forgotten to add in the zip file.

Sadly that chapter is missing in my English scans, so sorry! It is in the Dutch scan indeed. Anything in particular you are looking for?

Hi, I managed to find a pdf on my google drive which is a one file pdf that contains the chapter for front axel, so I have managed to get the tourque I need for different parts.
But if you want a copy of the file I can share it through google drive for you to download.

Well at least that's solved! If it's just chapter 31 I'm not interested, already have it in Dutch, but if you have the complete manual, that would defo be welcome.

The manual is complete with all the chapters I think. I haven’t checked the whole file, as it is a complete manual in a single pdf file with over 700 pages. The scan is black and white in a «poor» quality, but useful for me since I don’t have the chaper for front axel.

Well the original book is B&W as well so that doesn't matter. If you can share the file with me that would be much appreciated.

I just noticed it is the manual for the 320i :-(
Download it if you want, just let me know when you´re done, so that I can remove access to the file.
