Summary: Great value!
Comment: Some of the other reviewers seem a tad cornfoozled. Noting that the book title itself explains in bold letters that this item covers only those Beemers made between 1970 and 1988, I think it's save to say, and rightfully assume (duh! and doh!), that cars made after that are (surprise!) NOT covered here.
But since I can actually read and easily comprehend the title, and we own an old (old, old, old) daily driver, workhorse, 524td that was in fact made between those years, this work suits us just fine.
It certainly costs thousands of dollars less to buy, and read, this book and learn to do this most of this stuff yourself, than to cart the poor old girl down to the local BMW dealerships where they charge labor and parts fees like they believe that every Beemer owner has direct access to the vaults at Fort Knox. (Even if I did, it wouldn't be smart to give most of it away on the maintenance of an old car!).
As long as you don't really expect UPS to bring a mechanic along with the book so that your hands don't have to get dirty, and you know that the book won't magically transform your computer potato, cubicle inhabiting, soft handed self into an expert engine rebuilder overnight, you'll do just fine and you might even learn a thing or twelve. Hard work is it's own reward. Wax on. Wax off. etc...

Summary: A must have for any BMW owner
Comment: This book has been extremely helpful with schedule and preventive maintenace and repairs done by the professionals, because it enabled me to purchase various parts myself wholesale or refurbished which made the service much, much cheaper. I'm still in search of a owner's manual though, for a 1987 BMW 735i

Summary: Typical Chilton's manual
Comment: This is typical of a Chiltons. Very long on warnings concerning handling antifreeze and motor oils, then falls flat on it's face in the index department. I have not yet figured how to find anything in the index. And the comments driving you to seek help from a dealer are not what I bought the book for. I KNOW how to change oil and plugs, what I needed was help in troubleshooting a transmission problem. And there was no help there. To me, not worth the 17 bucks
