Electronic Service Manuel recomendations

PVBMR · 06-25-2022, 05:18 PM

All, I’m new to this forum and am a new BMW owner. In January I purchased a 2011 Z4 SDrive 30i. I’m planning to purchase an electronic service manuel to help me with service projects next week and in the future. Any recccomendations appreciated.

I use a site that is by invitation only….if you pm me I can send you an invite…

Otherwise there are various pdf copies of E89s service manuals floating on the Internet…

I can Dropbox a link to a 35i version I have..

From seeing for service manuals on any BMW produced after 2008 the market is sparse to none. The reason, Congress allowed all the "Right to Repair Laws" expire in 2008. The cornerstone manual by Bentley Publishing has become non-existant. Any and all manufactures consider any repair information to be privileged. If you to close to getting any information you'll get a page which reads "This Information is Forbidden, BMW NA. Good Luck in your search. I've used my manual for my wifes 328IC. It has the same roof system, and M52 engine, many of the part # match my 2009 Z4. So, my 2008 Bentley helps for any repair I've had to perform on either cars.

Hi BigendBob, and all, Your link is now intercepted and said to large to be reviewed etc. It looks like a Google interception. Since it offer Google apps to open it. I tried, but no joy. Still waiting for it to load.

I just tried it, works ok.
Clicked on the blue box, then goes to a white page with download anyway box.
Click on that.
Loads as a pdf.

This is outstanding. I don't suppose anyone has the sDrive28i manual for a 2014 e89?
