I am fairly sure these were not available until a short while ago so its either that my car got far enough along in the delivery process or BMW just got around to posting them but you can download the 3 series owners manuals in PDF form off the owners circle website. Obviously if you already HAVE your car this isnt worth much but for those of us waiting endlessly for delivery its nice to get a jump on things. It might also be handy as a reference to have on your PC for those without a PDF copy. Its available in the tab underneath the "manage my BMW" tab - mine says 2007 335i but it will say whatever car you bought most likely. The 3 series manual is 268 pages and it really seems like a translation from the german version when you read it like it wasnt written by a native english speaker originally. Its not exactly light reading but its a great way to get familiar with the car. If this is common knowledge and I just found it then I apologize but in any case its nice to have a PDF copy of the manual.

...As for my car, its going to be ready for pickup on Friday (tomorrow) or Monday (groan!) so after waiting since March 24th I might finally get the darn thing - pics to follow when I do, its a 335i coupe monaco blue loaded minus the sport package, active cruise and active steer. I dont see many pics of the 335i coupe without the sport package so it should be interesting to see how the wheels look etc.

I don't know if it was coincidence, but I noticed they were available at about the same time my vehicle went into production.

I think it's great. Can't search a hard copy for a word instantaneously.

Note that the manuals available on OC are the pre-March manuals (which have been available on E90post for a long time) and do NOT include the E93. (The manual listed as "335i Conv" is actually for the Coupe with NO Convertible-specific info.)
