Hey guys,ive just recieved my E34 CD workshop manual and its not huugely helpful. I need precise insrtuctions on how to do what needs to be done to get my car on the road
http://www.haynes.co.uk/webapp/wcs/s...egory_rn=10215
My car is a 1992 520 (M50 150BHP) and according to the above it doesnt cover that year? but what manual does?
Will the above manual do the job of helping me get the M50 waterpump,on/off,thermostat changed,belt renewed,fan clutch work,and coolant system bled??

Just be warned , Bentley doesnt cover the 2 litre engine- only 2.5 and bigger!
However, Im sure 95% of your car is covered by this manual.
a)which manual is this manual steve525 (this haynes??)
b)cant get bentley manuals in the UK
c0this haynes for pre91 cars cant be too differnet can it,what was changed between 91 and 92,and for all in know my car could be a mnaufactured 91 car but not registered til 92?
I need to get proper pics of it (which ill do tomorrow and u guys can tell me what ive got)

This manual is Bentley. I live in Ireland and got one 4 years ago from UK. Often see Bentleys on E Bay for very reasonable price! Check it out.Heres one link . Hope it works http://search.ebay.ie/bmw-e34_W0QQfr...fsooZ1QQfsopZ1

Haynes does a manual for the m50 320, which covers the engine in some details - I have it but can't find it on Amazon (got it from Halfords about 2 years ago). It's rather classic Haynes (i.e. next to useless).
The Bentley is available from amazon.co.uk:

This is where I got mine from. It does not cover the 520 M50 but the 525 is very similar (ECU is different IIRC - 520 uses Seimens) and the rest of the manual is correct. I've only used the wiring diagrams once (injection system) and it was correct for that. It's rather expensive and covers most stuff. It's not excellent but the best that is generally available.
Hope this helps,
Stu.
