PDF Owner's Manuals, Retrofit Instructions and Links
Posted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 12:24 am
I was looking for PDF retrofit instructions a while ago and a found a few other Z4 documents. I then expanded my search and found more documents available from numerous sites online, for public download. I've collected them in one place, links below. Some of the reference documentation is very useful for DIY mods.
I hope the links are reliable - if not I may need to move to another host (currently on DropBox). Also, not currently sure how it will handle concurrent connections / downloads.
Below this section I want to add links to my mods - running out of space in my signature! Please feel free to do likewise - prefer to keep it to links on here though.
Some of the owner's manuals are quite large files and can take a while to download. For some reason the E89 manual seems to pause for quite a while on Chrome, works better on IE and Safari (Mac).
The manuals may be EU/US specific, while most of the functions will be the same there may be the odd discrepancy.
Starting at the beginning:
