The Bentley PDF <-- It's Here!

I guess I can uninstall Winrar and get a newer version and try again.

So you're using the password as listed in the first post, and using a new version of Winrar?

[z6ne]

when I try to extract it I get the following errors:

! e30bentley.rar: CRC failed in the encrypted file BMW_E30_Bentley_Service_Manual.pdf. Corrupt file or wrong password.
! e30bentley.rar: Unexpected end of archive

same. not on a mac either. Any way to make this work?

or a keyboard-to-chair interface issue.

:p

I just downloaded the link from page one and used the password as described, no problem. So if you're getting an error it's either a corrupt download, wrong software (use winrar / rar) or a keyboard-to-chair interface issue.

First, use Winrar or command line rar on a Mac (google it) and second, if you get the password wrong, you'll get this:

! e30bentley.rar: CRC failed in the encrypted file BMW_E30_Bentley_Service_Manual.pdf. Corrupt file or wrong password.
! e30bentley.rar: Unexpected end of archive

Did you use the password as listed in the first post? I ask because I've recently made a new version of this with a different password, perhaps the hoster put up my new version. For more information on this other version, see here:

I downloaded WinRAR, I can see the pdf file but when I try to extract it I get the following errors:

! e30bentley.rar: CRC failed in the encrypted file BMW_E30_Bentley_Service_Manual.pdf. Corrupt file or wrong password.
! e30bentley.rar: Unexpected end of archive

Any suggestions?

Had the same exact issue! What gives?

I tried twice and gave up. is it because I am on a Mac?
