Can someone recommend which repair manual to buy? Chilton's or Haynes? My husband has a 2009 328 Wagon. It's a bday gift. He's not a big repair guy, but does some of the simpler stuff himself and we usually get one of these for all of our cars. Thanks for any recommendations.
Neither - yes, the Bentley manuals are more expensive, but there's a reason - I think the E9x manual is almost 2" thick; lots of detail, & reasonably comprehensive. http://www.bentleypublishers.com/bmw/repair-information/bmw-3-series-2006-2011-repair-manual.html Kudos, btw - I think it's pretty cool you'd think of that for a gift for your husband!
