wonderful manual

This is one of the best service manuals in my auto repair library, great text and lots of illustrations make this manual easy to use, even for the mechanically challenged. If you want to service and repair your Z3, this is the one to buy.


BMW Z3 manual

The manual answers my need of knowledge of how to do simple maintenance of my car. I am very satisfied with the detailed photos and descriptions of various operations in


An enthusiast's bible...

This is a large( 60mm thick! ) book, aimed at people who have more of an interest in their Z3 than just driving it with the roof down.
It covers so much about the Z3 in great detail; it is probably more suited to mechanically minded people.

All areas of dismantling, trouble-shooting and repair are covered from head gaskets to air bag removal, from stripping door cards to cleaning break lines etc.

The downside:
I'm driving a 2.0L, 6 cylinder model which was only available in Europe (i think?)for a about 18 months and isn't included in this American publication. However, all topics covered appear to be the same (except, of course for the fact that my car is right hand drive!!)

Conclusion:
If the owners manual just doesn't cut it with the amount of information you need, then this book will answer all your Z3 queries with ease.
I'm satisfied with my purchase.

BMW Z3 (E36/7)(E36/8) Service Manual: 1996-2002

Well written and a useful guide in most work applications. It does have a downfall when it comes to certain areas, such as the SRS system and codes. Another area is that of bodywork and dash layout... if fact most of the electrical is left out, unless you can read the schematics supplied in the back. No wire harness/current flow layout to mention. Precautionarys are laid out, but most is just common sense.
Overall, a good book to have for the garage/home mech as far as a general reference, but not recommended for a detailed overview of the cars layout or specs, in essence... NOT a true service manual. No specs. IE: Try and find a section relating to clutch pedal hight adjustment. There isn't one.
Repair is a gloss over and takes the assumption that it used by one that knows the car and work procedures already. In otherwords... you have done this before in one fashion or another.
Again, a good book for the garage and quick reference, although lacking in info.

Other drivers can tell you more in the forums, than this book does.
Although it is well illustrated en written.
