Factory service manual?

Anybody know the best way to get ahold of the factory service manual for the F30 335? I understand its all digital, and with the amount of stuff on this car that the manual would have to cover, that's fine with me

Bump - anybody? Hard to believe we can get our hands on the coding files, but not the service manual

That's probably the only source for now. Bentley Publishers haven't come out with their service manual for the F30 yet.

It's been quite some time since the introduction of the F3x, I'm wondering how much longer we'll need to wait for some sort of repair manual or the factory service manual.

You should use the Bentley Service Manual in conjunction with the BMW ISTA/D Rheingold. That's the comprehensive solution. You will also need the BMW ISTA/D Rheingold for a lot of diagnostic and maintenance procedures as well.

It would be great if the F30 Bentley was available in digital format. Once I got it in pdf form for my e36 I never opened the actual book again.

It is... the Bentley service manual is actually based on the ISTA+ (ISTA/D).

Bentley has not published an electronic media version of the F-30 Repair manual- at least I can not find it on their site. I had the CD-Rom version for my 99 540 and it was great. still like the hardcopy to quickly reference in the garage flipping between sections quickly.

Yes having a hard copy is nice at times but having a digital version on your iPad is much more convenient, especially when searching. Plus you can zoom in and out. I'm sure someone has a pdf version out there somewhere. If that someone happens to read this please PM me, I can PayPal.

From personal experience doing lots of big jobs on my car the Bentley service manual is sometimes more comprehensive than ISTA. I got my Bentley guide after I did my turbo swap based only on ISTA documents. After reading through the Bentley guide it had all the ISTA steps and instructions in addition to a couple extra steps, pictures, and instructions that would have made the job much easier. I use both ISTA and the Bentley guide for all my maintenance, it's the perfect combination, neither of them alone are really complete.
