4.0 out of 5 stars
Good Reference
I'm comparing this book to other BMW factory manuals and the Bentley 5-series manual, neither of which is available, (as far as I know) for the 1600-2002. In this comparison, the Haynes manual falls a little short in terms of the quality of the photographs and diagrams (especially the wiring diagrams), but is still very useful.

good but not great
From my experience Haynes manuals try to cram too many models into too thin of a book. This makes for a handy manual to have around the garage when performing routine maintenance but be prepared to refer to internet sources for more detailed model year specific information. I would have preferred a Bentley manual but couldn't find one for the '75 2002.

Good Reference,

This review is from: BMW 1602 and 2002, 1959-77 (Haynes Manuals) (Paperback)
I'm comparing this book to other BMW factory manuals and the Bentley 5-series manual, neither of which is available, (as far as I know) for the 1600-2002. In this comparison, the Haynes manual falls a little short in terms of the quality of the photographs and diagrams (especially the wiring diagrams), but is still very useful.The book is well organized and easy to read, and contains good detail on just about every rebuild, including transmissions, engine, rear end, brakes, etc. As the cover says: "...Based on a complete teardown and rebuild." I'm about to embark on a complete teardown and rebuild of a '71 2002, and bought this book to make sure I would have all the information necessary to complete this project. All of the stock BMW carburetion systems are covered, but my car has dual Weber 40 DCOEs (a common aftermarket addition). The excellent "Weber Carburettors Owners Workshop Manual" from Haynes covers them. After reviewing it, I'm satisified that everything I will need is there, equivalent in content to the BMW and Bentley manuals. I'd give it five stars if the quality of the reproductions were better.

Well worth the purchase if you have or will have a BMW 2002 to maintain and upgrade.

BMW 1602 and 2002, 1959-77 (Haynes Manuals),
This review is from: BMW 1602 and 2002, 1959-77 (Haynes Manuals) (Paperback)
This book is very clear with great and detailed breakdowns. I recommend also getting the BMW '02 Restoration Guide (Restoration Guides) by R.M. Clarke so you get a very technical book that can help you take apart and reassemble an engine, and a book with great tips and guides!
3.0 out of 5 stars
Good value but no substitute for factory documentation,

This book, as in all Haynes Manuals are a good value but be aware that it is lacking in some year to year specific information. It also costs much, much less than the factory docs too!
