    Bentley or Chilton?

    Ok so please dont crusify me on this for being new to BMW ownership just tryin to find out which manual to use. my 325 came with a Chilton manual and thats what I've had for every vehicle I've owned plus various jobs. But as im lookin through forums (mainly here) tryin to learn what i can about this little car everyone mentions Bentley manuals. Now I have never used one but are they enough better to justify buying it if I already have a Chilton or is it just a what your use to thing?

    Thanks

    Bentley. Once you have one in your hands and you look through it and compare, you'll more than understand.

    Not so much a signature as a cry for help.

    Hold on, saw this in a cartoon once...think I can pull it off.

    This is a very friendly forum for the most part. People don't get to up an arms about stuff, even things that have been gone over a million times before.
    This forum is also very welcoming to new comers.

    Bentley or Chilton?

    Bentley > Chilton, but to be honest the Bentley I use is always double checked against DIY guides on the internet because the book doesn't always outline the most efficient way to get a job done.
