woah thats sick! you wouldn't happen to know where i can get a bentley manual in pdf format? I dont feel like paying for the e30 bentley manual cause it doesn't even cover our engines..

[Eurospec]

I don't think the bentley exists in electronic form. I do however have the Haynes (~7mb). Anyway to host it here?

[bmwman91]

A Haynes PDF would be handy. We need to be careful though, let's try to avoid posting copyrighted material in the club forum. Now, i cannot stop anyone from emailing such things! hint hint

admin@e30tuner.com for reference

[dude8383]

heh i've got the haynes manual d/led already..the bentley is soo much more thorough, i guess ill have to buy myself a copy.

[asubimmer]

I have the bently but I prob need to get the e36 one also. I just don't want to spend the $ on it right now, haha

[Febi Guibo]

I don't think these are from the bentley...

but, until we get our class-action lawsuit going again Bentley for omitting our cars from the E30 manual... you can go to the bentley forum, request content from the E36 manual, and they will e-mail you .pdf's of the relevant pages for free.

I have the E36 manual also, but it's not as much help as you'd think... and it was $42 when I bought it.

[asubimmer]

awsome thanks for that info/saving me $

[kowalski]

thats just what i was looking for! thanks!

[dude8383]

from what i remember the E36 manual covers the updated m42, with one serpentine belt..

[thumper3ld]

I have the e36 in pdf if anyone is interested.

[asubimmer]

I have the e36 in pdf if anyone is interested.I use it...

[ak96ss]

The reference above doesn't have page 5116-0, covering the power mirror circuit. I found that page in the manual for an '89 ix, and it seems to be the same.

Too big to attach, Febi can you host it?

[dude8383]

I have the e36 in pdf if anyone is interested.

send it to me!

[asubimmer]

I want it too, I don't know why I said "I use it"!?!?

[1991318is]

I have the e36 in pdf if anyone is interested.
I'd like it also, my email is tennis_13@msn.com thanks if your able to, if not, it's no big deal.

Hey, post at top updated with power mirror wiring diagram... thump, email me the e36 doc and i'll put it up too... thanks

[Febi Guibo]

e36 manual posted... don't fall in love with that link, i'm going to move it in a bit... thanks

[doubled]

maybe someone have any wiring scheme for C101 pin? or engine wiring?

[ak96ss]

Anyone have page 6210-2?

I have something on Fuse 21 that is on and draining power from the battery, and in the process of tracing circuits, discovered that this page is referenced as a connection from fuse 21 (on page 0670-10), but is not in the ETM we have.

Thanks!

Edit: And it's not the trunk light switch! Unless that pulses about 3 times per second when it fails, and continues to do so when the trunk light switch is physically removed from the car.

[ak96ss]

Not really, no. I know it goes to pin 2 in connector C1 of the instrument cluster - I am curious where it goes from there... :)

Thanks, though!

I am the village idiot when it comes to anything electrical (sounds like you're speaking Greek to me) but I do think I have all the wiring diagrams - just not sure what you need (the numbers you gave don't correspond to my schematics)

For 318is you need Bentley service manual for E30 AND e36, since the m42 engine is found only from e36 manual-

[ak96ss]

OK, I found what I was looking for, in the manual for the 1992 E30 318ic, so it should be the same in our cars.

It's not the Bentley I'm looking for, as I have both the E30 and E36 Bentley's - it is the particular page I asked about in the ETM.

I've extracted the pages to a .pdf file containing just the Instrument Cluster pages, but I can't attach it because of the file size limitations - it is about 800k. Febi? :)

[kona2four]

Here is the instrument cluster schematic from Mitchell

[ak96ss]

This is the page from the ETM.

[ak96ss]

I have modified the ETM we currently have to include a lot of the missing pages - however, I don't have a means of hosting the file. Anyone care to host it? It is over 16MB.

[wrcarter]

Is that bently manual still available?
