This is my first post and I'll be picking up my first BMW at the end of this week! The first time I fell in love was when I saw a 325 in 1976. I've now been matched with a 2006 530xi. I would like to get a copy of a SERVICE manual for the 2 year old (not the 32 year old). Bentley hasn't published one yet. Any other suggestions?
Well that's a rather sophisticated car, so I don't think too many people are willing to tear down such a new car and go through all of its little bits just yet. It should still have the warranty on it... but I agree with your desire to work on it yourself. I just don't think there are any worth-buying manuals for it just yet.
