Bentley has a manual for E46 for years up to 2001 only.
Do you think it would be adequate for the 2002 models?
Thanks,
Joe

2001 was when BMW changed from the 323 and 328 models to the 325 and 330. I
would suspect that most everything between these cars is the same apart from
the engines having a bit more output. The Bentley manual should be more
than adequate.

Mechanically I think they are the same. Possibly some differences in content
with respect to options, etc?

Just a pity it doesn't cover the diesel engines and their management
systems. Ah well, hopefully I won't be needing one anyway :-)

If you look on the back cover, you will see the listing of models and
engines that are covered. If you look on the inside on the page facing the
Table of Contents, you will find the publication date. If the publication
date is earlier than your car's manufacturing date, this will explain why
your car is not listed.
