    Z4 2005 / E85 Service Manuals

    Hello all,

    I'm new to the BMW world and am looking for a factory shop manual.

    Z4 2.5i 2005

    Does BMW sell a factory shop/service workshop manual?

    Bentley only seems to do Z3

    I see on Ebay that there is a Z4 only PDF
    and
    what looks like a comprehensive BMW DVD 1982-2008 DVD
    Are either of these 2 ebay offerings legit?


    I know about Haynes / Chilton - are either decent for the Z4? (for other makes, I have done ok with Haynes but Chilton has been meh - don't know if they have gotten better with the merger)

    Thanks for any advice / opinions.

    Jay

    Looking at previous posts, it seems the 1982-2008 DVD is legit but it will only run on Windows7 32 bit or Windows XP and so most fire up a VM (virtual machine) and run it there.

    Anyone tried the 2003-2005 Z4 pdf for either $11ish to $14.95 or the 8.52 GBP offering from official-car-manuals? The comprehensive DVD sounds fun but I really just need the pdf and then I can put it on my android tablet.

    Is it cool to post ebay links?
