Hey folks,

I was doing an Amazon search and found this title... Is this a good source of info on the car? What's a fair price for it, or should I just be happy to have found it?

Thanks,
Craig

I don't think there's a Bentley for the e12, only for the e28, e34, e39 etc. Look for a Haynes for the e12.

Well, the price was right so I decided to pull the trigger and order it...

I have a Chiltons manual already, but since my car's half E12 and half 2002 it doesn't quite fit.

Cheers,
Craig

Colour me surprised... 10 days later it's in my hands!

More than impressed with the book. Very type-specific and great content. Worth every penny!

Cheers,
Craig

Any chance you could take a few photos of the inside...to give us an idea of content?
