Is the genuine BMW repair manual still in print?

Just bought the Haynes manual and it's pretty disappointing. Lots of text-only sections without any diagrams or photos. I found the downloadable PDF's in the technical resources page and that manual looks a lot more thorough. Is that original manual still in print? I tried looking on RealOEM for a PN but all they show is a CD.

 

I could just print out the PDF's but they don't look complete and some of the images scanned in almost black.

 

Unfortunately Bentley doesn't look like they ever mad a manual for these cars. Theirs are always top notch.

No,  it is no longer in print.

 

You can find copies that pop up on ebay or the classified section fairly frequently.  Expect to pay between $80-$140 for the pair.

 

I am not sure which scans you've looked at, but the scan that Steve uploaded is the most decent I've seen....

 

 

 

Yea those are the PDF's I downloaded. They're good I just like having a bound copy so I don't have to mess with my phone/laptop mid project.

 

It looks like the originals come in ring binders which makes me more skeptical of the "glue bound" ebay listing above. Has anyone bought from that guy?

Looks like a brand new set of the binders is $400!

I bought a set from that same seller in late August of last year. . They are nice quality 2 large volumes.

 

Did the photos within seem to be original quality or did they look scanned in?

 

They're a pain to communicate with and don't seem to want to give me the information I keep asking for over and over again. The only info I've gotten is that these reproductions are produced by them and not BMW. They won't send me any physical photos.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
