1. This is great its just like using the factory manual without having to translate from German :)



2. This book is quite a tome and seems to cover everything to keep your K series in top shape. Anyone who has some mechanical ability and wants to do their own service and mechanical work should have few problems by following the step by step instructions. The only complaint I have is the continuous warnings about various possible dangers; for example, using petrol/gas as a cleaning solvent. Do we really need to have these warnings repeated ad nauseum, sometime 5 times on the same page? I think the book could be 20 pages less without these! I suppose the warnings are there to avoid litigation problems in the USA. Otherwise, a very useful book. I personally would have no hesitation in tackling any repair work with this book at hand.

1. This book is a great book.A guide to each model with good information,good photographs make this the ideal buyer's guide.Owner's/would be owners and enthusiast will benefit from this book."Crowood Press" are known for good quality publications.A great book to add to any motoring book collection.



2. I purchased this book hoping to learn the year by year details of all modern BMW models. The book does a nice job and is well worth the read and has given me the overview I wanted. If you are looking for general information of the span of models this book is for you. If you are looking for specifics on a given series you would do better with a series specific book .
   It takes a while to get used to British dialect and humor but after a chapter or so you get used to it. The author took an exceptional approach to the vehicles he showcases in the book. Many of the photos are of cars with high mileage. There aren't many trailer queens or trophy cars in the older models. This gave a real world look at the models and it is nice to be presented a 15-20 year old daily driver. I certainly recommend the book.



3. Read more as a story about the history of BMW, I found it to be lacking in use as a buying guide for someone unfamiliar with BMW. Considering it is a model by model guide I would have found more data on options and sub-models useful. And there is little doubt that the author is a very biased BMW driver. This is where it really falls down, according to this book each BMW is practically faultless so how do you choose?



4. Not relevant info for North Americans. Specific model information is buried in text. Not many detailed pictures or description on options, performance data.

1. The manual contains concise, step-by-step instructions on how to perform scheduled maintanance as well as indepth information on everything from engine teardown to clutch replacement. The primary thing lacking is better subject, chapter indexing. It would be great if the repair items referenced in the maintanance schedule had a page or chapter reference to go directly to. This would save alot of time.
