Customer Reviews

Good Reference
I'm comparing this book to other BMW factory manuals and the Bentley 5-series manual, neither of which is available, (as far as I know) for the 1600-2002. In this comparison, the Haynes manual falls a little short in terms of the quality of the photographs and diagrams (especially the wiring diagrams), but is still very useful.

The book is well organized and easy to read, and contains good detail on just about every rebuild, including transmissions, engine, rear end, brakes, etc. As the cover says: "...Based on a complete teardown and rebuild."

I'm about to embark on a complete teardown and rebuild of a '71 2002, and bought this book to make sure I would have all the information necessary to complete this project. All of the stock BMW carburetion systems are covered, but my car has dual Weber 40 DCOEs (a common aftermarket addition). The excellent "Weber Carburettors Owners Workshop Manual" from Haynes covers them.

After reviewing it, I'm satisified that everything I will need is there, equivalent in content to the BMW and Bentley manuals. I'd give it five stars if the quality of the reproductions were better.

good but not great
From my experience Haynes manuals try to cram too many models into too thin of a book. This makes for a handy manual to have around the garage when performing routine maintenance but be prepared to refer to internet sources for more detailed model year specific information. I would have preferred a Bentley manual but couldn't find one for the '75 2002.

Excellent resource
Well worth the purchase if you have or will have a BMW 2002 to maintain and upgrade.
