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

This is excellent to replace paper manual.
E36 is very reliable model...
