A very handy reference book for owners of E30 and E36 cars. Dempsey covers everything from engine rebuilding to replacing the BMW nose badge on your 3 Series. With lots of good illustrations accompanied by easy-to-follow instructions, this manual should be a real aid for owners who would like to handle their own maintenance chores.

Dempsey includes a skill guide for each of the 101 projects — so a useless spanner-hand, such as this reviewer, can select projects even he could handle, leaving the more technical stuff for the specialists. Recommended.
