E30 factory repair manual
« Reply #46 on: January 02, 2009, 08:45:26 PM »
I noticed the links are down :( but luckily I found a pdf of this manual at e30tech.com.

here is the link: http://media.savarturbo.se/~mattias/bmw-e30-repair-manual-v7.pdf.

Want to also take the opportunity to thank the forum and its members really helped me (complete novice) when my cylinder head cracked, shes running better than ever!:)

I used to go to ee1394.com and tap into the online e30 manual, but that site has been unavailable for awhile.

http://media.savarturbo.se/~mattias/

*used* to be a slightly better point of entry. Right-click on the file, choose save link and the 107 MB pdf file will be on its way -- better than waiting for it to load in the browser. :eek:

This one works and is more complete:

E30 factory repair manual
« Reply #52 on: August 19, 2009, 10:51:57 PM »
I've got this and possibly a few other manuals on my computer. I can get it up tomorrow but can someone suggest a good site to upload to?

I want to buy the books in the future because it's annoying to read off the laptop, although if you are already proficient in repairing your car, simply glancing this will be good enough because you will remember. I think the Bentley manual was the best but its expensive ~ $100 and worst of all, it splits in 1990, so for the 318is you need both (e30 for chassis, e36 for engine info)

I've been looking around for one of these myself. Sendspace would seem the obvious answer?

Anymore besides SendSpace? I'm trying http://www.mediafire.com/index.php for the big files (above 300mb). Note: preferably not a site which requires waiting or queuing in line, has a ton of pop-ups/adware, or will go dead in 30 days.

Please add to this, if you have nothing to contribute then upload something already listed for redundancy purposes. I counted at least 3 E30 sites, not just links but entire sites, that went down since the last time I bookmarked them (which was about a year ago). Look here: http://www.e30tech.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16840 - nearly all invalid. M42club must be the exception as all the sites that disappeared were NOT full of arseholes while the ones that are, seem to be doing pretty well.

I don't know what browser you're using but here's what I do with firefox and the noscript extension. I replicated the freeze issue, then cleared it by giving temporary permission in noscript for filefactory.com, reloaded the web page, and got it to count down.
