Editorial Review: Product Description: Since its introduction in 1975, the BMW 3-series has earned a reputation as one of the world’s greatest sports sedans. Unfortunately, it has also proven one of the more expensive to service and maintain. This book is dedicated to the legion of BMW 3-series owners who adore their cars and enjoy restoring, modifying, and maintaining them to perfection; its format allows more of these enthusiasts to get out into the garage and work on their BMWs—and in the process, to save a fortune. Created with the weekend mechanic in mind, this extensively illustrated manual offers 101 projects that will help you modify, maintain, and enhance your BMW 3-series sports sedan. Focusing on the 1984–1999 E30 and E36 models, 101 Performance Projects for Your BMW 3-Series presents all the necessary information, covers all the pitfalls, and assesses all the costs associated with performing an expansive array of weekend projects. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - 101 Performance Projects For Your BMWThis is best "workshop manual" I have used. By far the easiest to understand - love the coloured arrows. Rating: - note E 36 only no e46 models (99 and 00 sedans) coveredI certain it is a fine book but I carelessly bought soon after buying my 99 sedan and it is not covered. the title really really needs to say 92 to 2000 E36 MODELS since that is the way everyone names the cars That is my only complaint. Rating:  - E30 Owners - This book is NOT for you.I am restoring a 1990 E30 325iA Convertible. It's mostly mechanical stuff that needs replacing, so I thought this book would be a good companion. It's unfortunately not and I am retuning mine. This book is almost exclusively written for E36 projects. There si really only one project I can remember specifically written for the E30 ... timing belt repalcement. Control arm repair instructions initially look like they are for both models, but then again the E30 control arm mounting points are much more ... Read More Rating: - Not a great selectionThis book had some useful tips on projects but the projects chosen were not the most interesting and, in my opinion, not that well explained. The manual is not very well edited. The author also acts like the E30 and the E36 are basically the same which they are not. This is a lazy excuse to simplify procedures and appeal to a wider range of BMW drivers. Rating: - Not Performance Projects but Maintenance ProjectsIf you are looking for a book about Bmw e36 maintenance projects this book is for you! But if you are looking for performance projects that transform your stock car in a power beast, well this book has little about it, it covers little about CAI, chip, turbo, hp gains and torque, there's is nothing about big bore throttle, sport header, flywheel, pulleys, fan delete etc the mods you usually would do to bring your 192 bhp car to a 250 bhp monster. It covers little about others models. Browse for similar items by category:
