Automotive readers have rated 1991-1999 BMW 318i 318is 323i 323is 328i 328is E36 Owners Manual 4.2 out of 5.0 based on 28 product reviews. Needed a replacement for my tattered old, page missing Owner's manual for 328i Coupe.
This is perfect and hugely helpful for everything opening and shutting on the vehicle.
Many thanks!!!!!
Thanks... now I can learn how to start my car!
Excelente muy buen manuel para tu vehiculo contiene las generalidades necesarias para su uso
