Trying to find an owners manual

Post by steve1986 » Thu May 21, 2015 10:22 pm

Hi all

Anybody know the best place to get an owners manual and books for my e53 facelift.

All I have is the service book a couple of receipts and the original window sticker/build sheet.

Can't seem to find a decent book set on eBay

Thanks

thought I'd found a link, but it didn't  work. I've deleted it now. Always thought they didn't do a manual for the e53 though.????

Jason1872 is yours a pre facelift ??

If I have the bookpack from greydog but later manage to find the facelift books for my car I will forward these on to you if you still want them

At the moment any books would be a good help as I think they are very similar

Thanks again everybody for your help.
