martyyn 2 Report post Posted September 11, 2006 Went to get a copy of the e30 restoration guide today and the bloke asked me if that was the Bentley manual ? Ive always assumed they were different books but ordered the Restoration Guide anyway. So are they the same thing ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Andrew Report post Posted September 11, 2006 The bentleys manual is EXTREMELY comprehensive on doing any work to the car. Couldn't comment on the restoration manual as have never seen it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gus 5 Report post Posted September 11, 2006 search under e30 bmw on amazon.com actually i did it for you http://www.amazon.com/BMW-E30-Service-Manu...mp;s=automotive the restoration bible is cool...a little bit more involved but not as tech manualish as the bentley if that makes sense. has more general info than the bentley and is a book you would kind of read. this is it here http://www.amazon.com/BMW-E30-Restoration-...TF8&s=books Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

martyyn 2 Report post Posted September 11, 2006 Thanks fellas, cant believe I didnt think of searching for it on the almighty amazon ! Your right about the Resto guide Gus, I bought one a few months ago for my nephew and found myself reading it on several ocassions before I gave it to him ! I really should get out more.
