    Easily searchable source for DIY guides and commonly asked questions?

    Hi folks, wondering if there are any sites out there that compile DIY guides and common questions. Like a general e30 info and diy website. I know that there are a lot of guides here on the site, but it's always a pain to search forums for that sort of thing, and picture links are always breaking.

    Cheers!

    the first thing you should do is buy a chilton's manual if you havent already.

    i usually just use google and usually have little difficulty finding out what i need to know. the r3v forums always showed up in searches and thats why i joined on here. that said there are a few other places online that can be helpful.

    specifically

      Chilton manuals are garbage. Buy a Bentley. It will tell you how to do anything and everything on the car.

      You did see there is a FAQ/DIY section of the forum, right?
