Automotive readers have rated 2004 BMW 7-Series 745i 745Li 760Li E65 E66 E67 E68 Owners Manual 4.3 out of 5.0 based on 3 product reviews. Hey --- This is Nice.... I do have the paper manual, but it is handy to have it here on my PC, vs inaccessibly inside the car! Ever read the manual while IN the car??
Now... all I need now is the SERVICE manual...
Stop asking me to write more and more cux I don't have time for this and i need the file
