    Hello!
    My name is Santiago and I live in URUGUAY, South America.
    I´v just bought a 1987 L6 and I´m extremely delighted with the car!
    Unfortunatelly, the original Factory manual was not included when I bought the car
    I need your assistance as I am trying to download the E24 Factory Manual PDF (must have acct. to download) that has been posted upwards, and although I´m logged in, the systems keeps telling me that I need a valid user name or password.
    Can anyone please help me downloading this PDF file?

    THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE and I am really glad that there are forums like this one in which we can discuss and help everyone!

    HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY 2013 for everyone!!!

    Kind regards,

    Santiago

    Thanks Jay for your reply!
    But I still can´t download the E24 Factory Manual PDF (must have acct. to download)!!
    When I try to dowload it, being logged in, it redirects me to another page that requests my user Id and password and when I enter it, it sais that the info that I entered is incorrect...
    Is that link working?
    Has anyone uploaded that user manual in any other server where I can download it from?

    THANKS!!!!

    Santiago.

    Santiago: That manual link is to the BigCoupe.com and not bimmerforums.com. So you have to join BigCoupe first. Joe

    Agreed, I have a 1988 M6 and I would love to have that manual. Please, anyone who still has this file or thinks they have it, dig it up so I can host it to the community on my server!!!

    Hi, I'm reassembling the under dash of my 1987 L6, which I did not disassemble. Can anyone tell me where the 5 blade relay goes? It was just lying on the floor, and I can't find a matching wiring plug. Second, bundled with the Onboard computer plug is a flat, wide and thin plug with 3 female connectors, a blank, and a 4th female connector. I can't see where that connects, either. Any thoughts?

    The 5 blade relay may be the flasher relay that goes under the steering column. THere is also two large relays that are behind the drivers kick panel up and to the left to the right of the large white junction. I have my entire 635 apart right now cleaning up the wiring and labeling everything. if you have any 635 questions, I probably have the answer.

    feel free to email me directly at cipherbmw@protonmail.com. now is a great time because i can send you all the under dash pictures you could ever want.
    I have too many BMW's
