I bought this last month. It's a good book and is to be used in conjunction with the Bentley Manual as it doesn't have as many pics.

If you have the E30 Resto' Bible, the Bentley Manual and the ETK, you will have everything you need to keep your motor tickety boo...purely from a theoretical pint of view of course 'cos you'll be needing cash as well and loads of it!

Don't think it covers M3...Bently is a US publication so covers 318 M40 and 325 M20 models only, IIRC

If you want M3 manuals, try www.koalamotorsport.com

They have a CDRom. Its not great, but its better than nothing. Also consider one of their genuine Workshop manuals
