BMW Drivers Handbook
I own a Series 1 BMW and have dipped into the handbook intermittently over the past two years. This covers all BMW cars, both left and right-hand drive, making it tedious and difficult to sift out what I really need to know from the masses of information given. Is there a simple, straighforward handbook available anywhere just for my car?

The first paragraph on the first page is all you need to know.... The part that says "Congratulations, you now own the road!"

do you have the copy where page 4 is missing explaining indicators and how to use them?0

I think you will find that the handbook is missing the section on direction indicators and how to operate them too! It wouldn't surprise me if the stalk is not shown on any illustrations either?
Damn! sb beat me!
Do BMW provide a "brief guide" with their cars? A lot of other manufacturers do.0 -
^^ I thought the indicators used new experimental telepathic technology
And you know the Autoparking thing on the Ford Focus? BMW have one that automatically seeks out disabled spaces and parks between them
We're so mean :rotfl:“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

They do the handbook like that because they don't expect anyone to actually read it!
OP: You might get more useful responses if you post some questions about your car, things you can't find in the handbook.0 -
As a BMW driver I resemble that remark!
5t.What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?0 -
Page 19 tells you how your radar controlled cruise control will position you between 6 and 18 inches from the bumper of the car in front on a busy motorway moving faster than 50mph...

"Dream World" by The B Sharps....describes a lot of the posts in the Loans and Mortgage sections !!!0 -
Clearly no one can direct me to what I am looking for - don't bother to continue this thread unless you can. I just hoped there might be a simple series available somewhere.
I have now written to BMW, but don't hold out much hope of a satisfactory reply.0 -

As said above, what information are you looking for? Have you tried using the index?"You should know not to believe everything in media & polls by now !"
