Somebody's got to have this baby on PDF somewhere.... I can't seem to find one. I usually buy paper manuals but I thought $60 for a new Helmes manual was expensive but $120 for this Bently. That is just crazy.

Any help/info would be appreciated.

 

Ya know..... with how many DIY articles there are out there, you could put one together yourself.
In fact, someone has compiled them in a link archive:

Have fun! The mini is an easy car to work on.

 

Do you mean Haynes? I bought one from minicarparts.net for $30 but I don't see it currently on their website. It is $40 at minimania.

An alternative is the BMW TIS manual on DVD from eBay.

 

No. Helmes publishing does service manuals for Honda/Acura and others. It's the same as what Bently does (only apparently not as expensive). :D Of course I should get used to this. Owning a BMW means everything costs more and breaks more often.

 

$120? I thought I payed $65 for mine. I just let it go for $40.

 

The BMW TIS on ebay is a bargain in comparison.

 

QFT

 

Go to amazon.com they have it for the cheapest price.

 

don't waste time/money on BMW TIS on ebay it's not shop manual.
Not great but bently covers all.

 

Meh, too late. It was only $10, anyway. Bently is next if TIS isn't detailed enough.

 

How is BMW TIS not a shop manual? Most of the material in the Bentley manual was taken directly from the BMW TIS (except for the electrical diagrams, which they copied from a different BMW DVD).
