More About the Author

Since 1950, Bentley Publishers has helped professionals and do-it-yourself mechanics by publishing highly detailed automotive manuals and time-saving service guides. We started by reprinting and distributing hard-to-find British car manuals, such as Austin-Healey, MG, and Triumph. Today we offer a full line of technical automotive reference information for Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Volkswagen and many other vehicles.

Everything that goes into a Bentley manual - from developing the outline, tearing down a car, authoring the repair information, taking our own photography, to meticulously disassembling the vehicle (and putting it back together again!) - is done by our team of Technical Editors right here in our Cambridge, Massachusetts office.

In authoring our manuals, our approach has been to go for the details, resulting in books that may look intimidating, but are easy to use. More detail and less "averaging of facts" leads to less guess work when you are working on a car.

This review is from: BMW Z3 (E36/7)(E36/8) Service Manual: 1996-2002 (Paperback)
This book was EXACTLY what I needed to do routine maintenance and certain select modifications. BMW wanted almost $200 for an oil change - one change and this manual paid for itself! Well written and complete - I couldn't be more pleased.

3.0 out of 5 stars BMW Z3 (E36/7)(E36/8) Service Manual: 1996-2002, January 9, 2007
This review is from: BMW Z3 (E36/7)(E36/8) Service Manual: 1996-2002 (Paperback)
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.

This review is from: BMW Z3 (E36/7)(E36/8) Service Manual: 1996-2002 (Paperback)
When I needed to replace the brakes on my 2001 BMW Z3 I was distressed to find that the only manual available for the 2001 BMW Z3 was a $75.00+ Bentley Shop Manual. I ordered the manual [[ASIN:B000AP64PK BMW Z3 Service Manual: 1996-2002] and went it arrived I turned to the section on brakes. The pictures were great but the descriptions left more than a little to be desired. While you could see a picture of it, the manual did not tell you you needed a 7mm allen wrench to remove the brake calipers. To add insult to injury when I laid the book flat, the binding was so cheap that the page that I was looking at just came loose! Not the sort of quality you might wish for in a $75.00 book!
