The bently is best and can be downloaded as an electronic version if you have a google.

I'll agree, Bentley's is definitely worth saving for. They're only £30ish

i found the e30 restoration bible by andrew everett a great help

Bentley cover M10 and M20 engines.
They are very good with suspension,electrics and so on.

For good detail regarding M40 you need Haynes 1948...as well as Bentley.

I agree that the Bentley is well written, but for anyone with a RH drive M40 engined touring, there are some serious shortcomings! Haynes is much maligned on here, But it's still a very useful manual, which would have been much better if they hadn't tried to cover the E34 as well,

It's a great read and not only for technical info but to read about the E30 as a cult car

Thanks for the reply's I'll be starting with the haynes as the M40 specific is of more intrest to me at the moment. Will put the other 2 on the book list to get.
Thanks Broadie
