new here, shop manual question

[spelbynder]

Hi. I'm glad I found this forum. I hope I can eventually add as much as I learn.

I don't see my model represented here (1982 320 I).
I don't know anything about BMW's, it's my daughter's first car.
My question is, what is the best shop manual for this car? I've heard that Haynes & Clymer both have really bad misinformation in some of their other books. I want the mechanic's shop manual if there is one available. Anyone know where I can look?

thanks for any help you can give.

I would get a Bentley shop manual for the car. By the way, welcome to the board!

Welcome to the board! Wow, an '82 320? What a classic! Any pics?

I have the Bentley and the Haynes. The Bentley is the best, but the Haynes does add a few things here and there. I go to Bentley first, and if things are not clear, I double check with the Haynes.

For example, the E36 serpentine belt routing drawings are mislabeled in the Bentley, the Haynes cleared up the confusion.
