86 e30 325i

Hi guys, I'm trying to find a good e30 haynes manual for my newly purchased 325i cabriolet

the only thing I can find is a vague haynes maual that is shared with the 5 series, does anyone know of any good alternatives?

This is far superior to the Haynes offerings.

The earlier Haynes manual that covers the E21 isn't too bad.

The Bentley manual & Andyboy's E30 Restoration Bible are what you need!

Thanks Guys,

I just picked up my new 136000 mile toy, ran her from london to brighton and back, I was happy to find she is mechanically sound - but could do with a good service.

Electric mirrors died on me, and I just discovered that the mechanism to bring the seats forward to allow back passangers in doesn't work on either side. will try fix it!

body seems mint and I cant find any rust in the places i'm used to finding them but the tech 2 bumpers allround where not sprayed to perfection - so might slap on some tech'1s

Thanks for your help.

The seat issue should just be the cables and can be replaced. mirrors, check the fueses etc then clean all the contacts and go from there.
