E28 Manual, 2008-11-07
Very good manual. Carefully written and quite accurate. It is worth the money as it was well compiled.

Clear and Comprehensive guide, 2008-02-08
This is an excellent manual in every respect. It is well written, with the owner-mechanic in mind, and the illustrations and diagrams are extremely clear and helpful. It provides detailed step by step instructions for testing components, which other manuals do not always give.

The only reason I do not give it 5 stars is that it only covers cars sold on the North American market. This means, for example, that it does not cover the L Jetronic fuel injection system fitted to many E28 BMWs sold in other markets (such as my own 1985 525i). For information on this system you will need to refer to either a specialist book on Bosch fuel injection systems, or the Haynes Manual covering all 3 & 5 series from 1983 to 1991 (Haynes manual 1948).

If you own any E28 and can only afford one manual, the Bentley publication is far and away the best available.
