2.0 out of 5 stars Typical Chilton's manual, March 28, 2000

This review is from: BMW Coupes and Sedans, 1970-88 (Chilton's Total Car Care Repair Manuals) (Paperback)

This is typical of a Chiltons. Very long on warnings concerning handling antifreeze and motor oils, then falls flat on it's face in the index department. I have not yet figured how to find anything in the index. And the comments driving you to seek help from a dealer are not what I bought the book for. I KNOW how to change oil and plugs, what I needed was help in troubleshooting a transmission problem. And there was no help there. To me, not worth the 17 bucks

4.0 out of 5 stars A manual well worth having - attempts to cover a lot., October 26, 1998

This review is from: BMW Coupes and Sedans, 1970-88 (Chilton's Total Car Care Repair Manuals) (Paperback)

Well produced, with excellent photos and graphics - particularly for US models. Doesn't cover twin-servo brake systems as fitted to some European 2002's - I have one of those! To be fair to the publishers, they do state that it is intended for US market cars. Very thorough and repetitive on workshop safety. Good value - a very big read and a good source book.

This review is from: BMW Coupes and Sedans, 1970-88 (Chilton's Total Car Care Repair Manuals) (Paperback)

This book has been extremely helpful with schedule and preventive maintenace and repairs done by the professionals, because it enabled me to purchase various parts myself wholesale or refurbished which made the service much, much cheaper. I'm still in search of a owner's manual though, for a 1987 BMW 735i
