Hi all

Anybody know the best place to get an owners manual and books for my e53 facelift.

All I have is the service book a couple of receipts and the original window sticker/build sheet.

Can't seem to find a decent book set on eBay

Thanks

thought I'd found a link, but it didn't  work. I've deleted it now. Always thought they didn't do a manual for the e53 though.????

Hi Horizon.

Thanks for your reply

I did find this website... But I'm after a hard copy if possible.

This did help me to work out how to work the thing lol.

Thanks again

This any use? http://www.bmwmotorsports.org/pdf/e53/B ... 202005.pdf

I saved it to my iPad as a PDF so Ivan open it on there or on my iPhone. Or you could print the 200 pages!

Dont know if its any use but I have a full set in the leather wallet which came with my 2002 4.4 which was written off. I dont know if there are differences in the manuals?
Yours for the postage if I can find it

Jason1872 is yours a pre facelift ??

If I have the bookpack from greydog but later manage to find the facelift books for my car I will forward these on to you if you still want them

At the moment any books would be a good help as I think they are very similar

Thanks again everybody for your help.
