E30_318i 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2005 E34 - M20 1988 onwards. Try a technical bookshop and see what they could do. I bought my E30 one off amazon.com, all up $120 I think, but I doubt you'd get a discount off there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30stz 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2005 Yeah so far with E30 we're looking at $90 without discount. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30stz 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2005 =) been looking there already, the prices there are quite a bit higher than other places it seems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 35 Report post Posted October 9, 2005 (edited) Keen on E30. There was a place in Dunedin years ago that specialised in Manuals. Was called Hillside Book Exchange but changed names now. It was on King Edward St, just around the corner from Pak 'n' Save heading from the rear Pak 'n' Save entrance towards the motorway overbridge/Hillside road. They may do a good deal, esp. if someone goes in there with student ID (Ali???). Edited October 9, 2005 by bravomikewhiskey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30stz 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2005 (edited) So far - I've managed to sort out a 15% discount from Techbooks should we choose to accept, this is provided it is one payment and we order at 5 minimum. The prices go as follows BMW E46 323 325 328 And 330 Petrol $280.45 BMW E30 318 And 325 $107 E36 318 323 325 328 And M3 $171 E34 525 530 535 And 540 $161.45 but I am in talks with another company, that should be able to do it for a bit cheaper.

Guest Andrew Report post Posted October 10, 2005 Still way off on price - the ones I got from amazon were WAY cheaper. E30 - 44 NZD + 20 NZD shipping. E36 - 71 NZD + 20 NZD shipping. E34 - 117 NZD + 20 NZD shipping. E39 - 153 NZD + 20 NZD shipping. E46 - 117 NZD + 20 NZD shipping. Tell them to match amazons price - Amazon probably still have decent margin in there books hah.

aliluya 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2005 So does anyone actually know whether this manual will have detailed information for the compact .??? Or is everything practically the same in the E46?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 1043 Report post Posted October 10, 2005 the main difference is the drive and suspension setup (oh and the your missing a boot ) in all seriousness .. I think they would be some what the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

petone 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2005 I got mine from amazon a while ago, no hassles or anything. Only thing is that it doesn't cover all of the models, shouldn't be too much of a problem though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

a13antichrist 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2005 I'd be keen for one too - 97 E36 In fact if they're a good price I would be tempted to pick up an E46 version as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30stz 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2005 think its best you just take Andrews advice and buy off amazon. Much much cheaper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
