e30 manual

http://www.bimmerwerkz.com/forum/3-series-e21-e30/bmw-e30-bentley-manual-factory-service-67616.html

no point in buying books, just save me 1bill.

[mamzak]

so you saying i have to buy two books? pretty gay because that like 1bill from my pocket.

You don't have to...I'm just saying that some cock-knuckle over at Bentley forgot to put our car's M42 engine info in there...so if you're looking for M42 specific stuff, like in this case, you won't find it in the E30 book.

Not trying to be a dick but pick this book up if you get a chance. It'll make your life a lot easier for things like this. Very nice to have just for reference. http://www.amazon.com/BMW-E30-Servic...3860468&sr=8-8

I'm pretty sure the M42 isn't in this book...you have to buy the E36 model bentley to get detailed stuff on the M42. Lots of other stuff from the E30 manual is transferable though, so still a good idea to get it.

was thinking of buying that to save me the trouble in the long run.

you assume correctly.

My M42 does this too, but only when it is brutally cold out. When i start my car in the morning, it's fine, and by the time the car is warmed up, the idle will bounce back and forth from 1000-1500 rpm, and it is SUPER annoying.

having the same thing as you

also, wrong section for this thread. There is an M42 technical section.

sorry i'm new,just got my e30 318is for free.

should probably mention vacuum lines.
They dry out, crack, and cause leaks over time.
Check the simple stuff first..
Run some searches.

all the hose have been replace from the previous owner and of course i search before i ask people.
another question about the icv,there is a arrow on icv should it be point up toward the hood or down? also how do i clean icv because it seem the only way to clean is spraying brake cleaner inside icv hole. for honda you can take the whole iacv apart.:)
