Workshop Manual for E53...

Hello,
I did a search here and did not find any info. I would like to get a good complete workshop manual (book) and would like some help from fellow owners. I searched on google and came up with a lot but i do not know which one to pick.

Cheers,
Aaron

You can try to check with bavauto.com. I think they have the same manual for a little less.

Has anyone used the CD like these? They are only $12, is it a pirate copy?

Please I would like to know the answer to this as well.... because I usually find that when something is too good to be true... it usually is "too good to be true"

Update: I bought the DVD from the above link. It clearly is a pirate copy, probably from China. There is a BMW logo and the DVD functions correctly but the fine print in the label says "Property of British Motor Works" ! ?

The DVD loaded flawlessly and contained service and maintenace instructions, torque requirements, and pictures. It has the appearance of a BMW quality product. I don't think I'm in violation of any copyright laws, though the seller may be. This DVD should sell for hundreds of dollars.
