Car Forum / BMW Cars / April 2007Bentley Service Manual
Hi folks, a belated Merry Christmas to one an all. I've managed to lay my hands on the Bentley manual for the 5 Series (1989 - 1995) and wondered if anyone could tell me how much of that - if any - will be relevant to my 1990 730i (E32/M30)? This manual is in pdf format so if anyone wants a 61MB email just let me know. A Happy New Year to everyone :-)  SignatureRegards Steve G > Hi folks, a belated Merry Christmas to one an all. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Regards > Steve G __________________________________ Merry Christmas Steve - I'd love a copy of the service manual - unless you were joking. My son just latched onto a 91 535i, and I'm sure the manual will come in handy. PDF is super, since we can print and grease up only the pages needed for a specific job. Just downloaded 360MB torrent of a TV show I forgot to record, so a mere 61MB is child's play. With a fast DSL connection, it shouldn't take but a few minutes - or hours. Thanks DS toybox(DOT)dale(AT)verizon(DOT)net the publisher that spent months disassembling the car to make the book may not appreciate it. Music and movies are one thing to scam, but bentley does not earn millions like hollywood. Don't encourage people to give it away, let them buy it or Bentley may end up stopping their books, and then we are all f.cked! BTW, it will be relatively useless for a 730, as the v8 is barely mentioned. > the publisher that spent months disassembling the car to make the book may > not appreciate it.

I appreciate your comments about the morality of offering copies and the possible effect that it could have on the publisher. If it were a manual for a current model car I wouldn't propagate it in this way but I doubt that Bentley's future will be much changed by missing one or two sales of this manual. As to the manuals use to me; I wish I had a V8 but as my OP says M30 engine which is basically the same as the 530 and 535 from the same era. I was really more interested in comments about suspension, transmission, etc., but thanks anyway. SignatureRegards Steve G I dunno, Steve - why don't you write a nice message to Bentley and ask them, since you are so assured that they won't miss a sale or two to an intellectual property thieve such as yourself. And then , do post back here to educate us simple folk as to the different kinds of copyright abusers. You know, tell us about the difference between nice, wholesome, well-meaning Robin Hood thieves like you, and the other bad, evil, copyright thieves like, well, you tell us..........the world wonders.... > > the publisher that spent months disassembling the car to make the book may > > not appreciate it.

I do apologise if my position on this offends your obviously perfect record of obeying every single law ever passed. I didn't say they wouldn't miss the sales, I said that not having those sales was unlikely to break them (as a company) and I still believe that to be true. As I didn't rip off the manual I'm not guilty of stealing - at least not according to UK law. Neither did I request the manual from someone else - it was sent to me completely unsolicited - so at best (worst?) I'm guilty of handling stolen goods. Oh, and before you jump back up on that high horse of yours that isn't an attempt at justifying myself it's a simple statement of the situation as I understand it. Copyright theft is just that .. theft. I'm not trying to delude myself that having this manual amd offering it to others is anything else. There, you see, I've prostrated myself in front of your altar of perfection ... SignatureRegards Steve G I have NO problem downloading movies or music from a corrupt hollywood.... but Bentley actually did good, hard work that is worth the money. If 100 people don't buy it, then it will eventually have an effect on the next BMW bentley you buy, the book might be cheap or non existant.... or maybe you have no intention of buying another bimmer. the point is that it is rare that something is worth the price charged, the bentley is one of them. steal from hollywood or music all you want, but bentley is different./ > I have NO problem downloading movies or music from a corrupt hollywood.... > but Bentley actually did good, hard work that is worth the money. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > the point is that it is rare that something is worth the price charged, the > bentley is one of them. This is so true! I have an 1990 E34 535i, 5spd, 103K miles and I know Brett Anderson *might* have made a CD or manual for it, but because of all the stealing, he won't. That too bad as all E34 owners would have greatly benefitted from his experience.... > Hi folks, a belated Merry Christmas to one an all. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > A Happy New Year to everyone :-) Steve, I don't know of anyone that can receive (or send for that matter) 61MB emails. Now if it happens to find its way to someplace that it can be downloaded from please do let me know... ;-) BTW - I have a hard copy of that same manual, but it would be cool to have an electronic copy as well, for portability sake.

CBIAM, >indeed. I must have struck a nerve. I fail to see how posting a link, as requested, to the cheapest price I've found for the manual, makes me an a**hole. I ordered them from that site and received them the very next day. Good service and a great price. Anonymous? Just sick of spam. Have a life. > Anonymous? Just sick of spam. Nothing to stop anyone using a false e-mail address but giving a real name in the text. Signature*Why is the third hand on the watch called a second hand? Dave Plowman dave@davenoise.co.uk London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. Well, actually, there are a few reasons why doing that may easily link back to email addresses that one might not want disclosed. But not to worry, Dave, they know who they are, regardless of whatever monkeyspeak comes at the bottom of the post. > > Anonymous?

SteveG, I would love it - I have an E39, but maybe some of it would apply to me... Can you email me a link, or better yet, can you just post the 61MB file here (and really offend the morality police). tahnks, Mike SteveG <_@_._> wrote in news:lrXrf.14987$iz3.14956 @text.news.blueyonder.co.uk: > Hi folks, a belated Merry Christmas to one an all. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > A Happy New Year to everyone :-) |
