Not my first choice
Customer Rating:
Not my first choice when looking for E30 info. Somewhat a compilation of owner comments and very old tech articles. There are much, much better books out there such as the Bentley repair manual, the E30 restoration bible, the 3 series history and others. Keep looking and don't spend your money here first.
GOOD IF YOU HAVE AN OLDER BMW
Customer Rating:
Interesting reading, but geared more to the older cars
Enthusiasts guide review - for older cars
Customer Rating:
Found many of the articles dated over ten years old and where some withstand the test of time, most are relative to the older, now very used cars. Rate a 2 star due to historical perspective
Caveat Emptor
Good for "old school"
Customer Rating:
This is a well established book with a very credible track record, however, it is misleading having the hood of a BMW E36 on the cover. The E36 is a modern BMW by all standards; this book has about three two-paragraph articles on that car while all the other stories and pages pertain to the E30 (1983-1992) and earlier cars. If you are the owner or if you are fascinated with how to work on cars older than 15 years, this book is for you.
Book for old BMW's
Customer Rating:
Forget this book unless you own a pre 2000 BMW. Most, if not all, of the information provided can be found on the web. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.
