When I completed my auto mechanic training in the early 1960s, all the craftsmen had adjustment data for all car models in their heads. There was no factory documentation for various car models. The idle speed of the engine was adjusted by ear. A simple bulb was used to adjust the ignition, and a torque wrench was used only when the cylinder head bolts needed to be tightened.
Today, such methods of work are unthinkable. Even a qualified specialist cannot do anything in the absence of modern control and adjustment devices. In addition, if he wants to do the work correctly, he must constantly improve the level of technical knowledge, getting acquainted with the factory documentation. And what is taken for granted for a specialist should become for an amateur. Even the smallest adjustment errors can cause serious damage. Therefore, before carrying out any repair work on a BMW, it is recommended to look into this book. This is also required in order to assess the scope of repairs and the degree of complexity of the work before starting work.
For most threaded connections, the tightening torque is specified. When tightening some threaded connections (cylinder head, suspension connections, etc.) a torque wrench must be used.
The proposed book provides the technically competent motorist with the necessary foundations for the correct independent performance of work on a BMW car. A detailed description of all work operations is given, large photos of a general view and details allow you to visualize the progress of work. To save space, only the four-cylinder engine is described in detail. However, for six-cylinder engines, all the most important maintenance and adjustment data is given, such as engine oil capacities, spark plug settings, etc.
In each chapter of the book there is a section containing a description of the maintenance of the car, which will allow the car enthusiast to perform these works correctly and quickly. In addition, the diagnostic and troubleshooting tables in each chapter allow you to localize and quickly find the possible source of the problem.
Even an experienced motorist should not forget that in order to control and maintain the operational safety of the car, it is advisable to visit a BMW workshop regularly.
Naturally, this book cannot deal in detail with each specific technical issue. However, I hope that the right choice of instructions for repair, maintenance and care of the car in most cases will provide a solution to the problems that arise.
