Need info/manual on 518i - M43 engine

[grave79]

I'm starting a head gasket job on my 96 518 tomorrow, but so far all I have to go on is the info on the BMW TIS CD, which is nice, but not really designed for someone like me who lacks the proper tools and experience. Anyone know where I can get some more useful info? The Bentley and Haynes manuals don't cover 518s.

Try searching for the E36 318i manual - it has the same M43 engine so the headgasket job should be described in the same way.
