E31 Repair Manual

BMW offers the 8 Series Repair manual online (free-of-charge). The last manual prepared by BMW was dated November 1994 and includes support for the M60 840Ci, M70 850Ci, M73 850Ci and the S70 850CSi (much of which is interspersed with the M70 support).

For the M62 840Ci, everything in this manual applies except for the engine. Specific engine support can be found from other BMW manuals.
