Is there a haynes workshop manuel for the BMW E30?

The only 1 i can find is for the 3 and 5 series combined and its crap.

Is there a better one?

There is an old Haynes book (815) that covers the E21 and E30 thats a bit better than the 3+5 one and only covers the 6 cylinder engines.

Haha, thats all its good for, that and wiping your ass with. They are ok if you want to be told how to do an oil change and nothing more complicated, other than that get a TIS disk.

TIS and EPC can be found on EBAY for little money. Don't pay more than a fiver!
I have some manuals scanned in as pdf. Not very good pictures, but better than nothing. There is no copyright and if someone form the zone is willing to make some copies for the "e30 communtity" I will supply one FOC. I am just too busy to make copies.
