I've just bought a 1988 320i convertible. Is there a Bentley handbook as it appears to list 318' and several 325i's but no 320i ?

cheers

It's a US written manual - no 320i over there.

But sher why not read through it but cross out the 5 and change it to a 0 everytime you read 325?
There the same thing (correct me if I'm wrong) apart from the fact the crank and rods are different inside the engine and the fact they have the back brakes off a 318i.
The haynes manual is fairly sh!$t@ to be honest. Can be very vgue and sometimes wrong
M42 rightness above 6500rpm, nobody can hear you scream

If you must, but a Chilton would be a better bet.

I'd still buy the bentley, as has been said most stuff is the same in the way things are removed and re-fitted etc, only may just be some engine specs that are different.

It's not like the 320i and the 325i are totally different engines.
