They have different part #, so I want to make sure I get the right one before I fork out the dough. These things are friggin expensive! 1997 owners manual Part #: 01 41 9 789 947 1996 owners manual Part #: 01 47 9 788 707 I won a '97 Active model, so i want to make sure all the feature are in the manual. Thanks! __________________ '97 318ti Active; '05 330ci ZHP | | | 11-02-2010, 07:01 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2010 Location: Severna Park, MD Posts: 126 | Have you checked eBay Motors for the one you want? Or perhaps someone parting their 3-series out on here or www.bimmerforums.com. You'd save quite a few chips in the process. __________________ Friends don't let friends call it "Beamer".

Also someone on here has one, a bit more expensive but is for a '96. so want to see if there is a difference between the 2 manuals. thanks for the tip. __________________ '97 318ti Active; '05 330ci ZHP | | | 11-03-2010, 06:00 PM | #5 | Member Join Date: May 2010 Location: Los Angeles Posts: 55 | Quote: Originally Posted by stefan323ti | Thanks for the link.

It might only be the owners booklet. Im looking for everything including the leather case & audio cassette (what a dork I am!!) __________________ '97 318ti Active; '05 330ci ZHP | | | 11-03-2010, 11:11 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: MD/PA/DC Posts: 1,629 | Quote: Originally Posted by ofset Yes, I did see that for $33. do you know if its the whole set?

Short of someone parting a wrecked one out. Good luck to you, I've done this hunt before with other E36s...not fun or cheap. __________________ Friends don't let friends call it "Beamer".
