    Default CD manuals on EBAY..Who makes the best?

    I am looking for a manual on CD for my 1989 535i. I have seen several on EBAY and all of them are touting they are the best. Anyone have any suggestions?

    don't waste your money.
    there's a link somewhere on bf.com that has a down loadable adobe version of the bentely manual. it's about 44 mb. you should do a search over there. i'll post the link if i find it.

    All the best in pirating material :|

    Seriously though, Buy a Bentley instead. At least you'll be able to easily annotate and take it to the can with you

    Yeah, you should still buy it instead of stealing it.

    well then, it's a bit of a moral dilemma, isn't it? are the guys selling the CD copies on ebay license to sell unlimited copies of whatever manual they've burned onto a CD? i wouldn't be surprised if they were burning this adobe file and selling that...

    either way, the pdf is a little cumbersome to navigate through so it's good as a side reference but its better to have the book

    Yes, and it's something I feel pretty strongly about.

    then while we're at it, we should be telling members to not buy those ebay perf chips as they're most likely copies of the work that EAT and JC have invested their time and money into, right?
