				Suggest a GOOD service manual?
			 
			
			I am searching for a good service manual for my 1991 535i, 1995 540i, and 1988 M3.  I have a Chilton's manual that covers the 3-series, but it's not that good.  I am looking for a manual that's more comprehensive than that. 
		
	
		
	
			
				The 535i needs a heater fan installed. I looked up the labor, and it calls for 5.5 hours! I want to know what's involved in this repair. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.  |

			Bentley manuals are ususally the most comprehensive, but they aren't cheap.

			I highyl reccomend the Bentley manuals as well, just about the closest thing to the factory manuals, which aremajor bucks if you can even find them.

			Shameless plug time, but Pelican carries the Bentley Manual for your car.

			I notice your online Bentley manual goes only to 1998.  Anything for a 1999 3231??
