PDF Owner's Manuals, Retrofit Instructions and Links

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.

BMW USA Information
Seems BMW USA beat me to it. Looking for a few missing manuals I found this page on the USA site...
Owner's Manuals
There is some other great info on there too. Select the year and car and in addition to the manual there are some handy How To videos.


Specifications - many thanks to Wondermike :thumbsup:

Thanks. Which one? I've been through this morning and tested them all on my work PC, some are slow due to the file size, some also don't like Chrome so much.

I also spot tested a few on my BlackBerry and they seemed to load okay.

If there was anything that you wanted in particular that won't load, DM me and I'll send you the file by email. Files up to a little over 8MB.
 
All work for me. Incredibly useful resources Matt, many thanks for posting all in one location :thumbsup:
 
Brilliant!!!
Page now bookmarked for future reference
Thanks for taking the time to put this together :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Ok now. I copied links to IE8 and opened them from there,
Great thanks.
 
Brilliant. Thanks for all that info, I've been searching for days for the 05 owners manual. I didn't get one when I got the car! Maybe now I won't have to post inane questions on the forum.

Yeah, is odd - normally if something isn't going to work it will be IE! Watching the download progress Chrome seems to struggle with the final handoff. Oddness.

imp75, excellent - means it was a worthwhile execrise :thumbsup:


:!: One thing to note, I think some of these may be US manuals, need to go through and check. The main functions should be similar though.
 
What do you need Taz? I'll have a look for you, but I'm not sure it's something you can download though.

If you can't see any of the images and you're on a Windows machine try installing the Adobe SVG plugin.

EDIT: See you've tried that already - PM replied.
 
If you search for N9. Fuse R 47 should be the switched supply.
