2009 3 series owners manual - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

netwrkr · 09-21-2008, 07:56 PM

As in, does anyone have one? I only find owners manuals up to 2007 on BWM's site.

I've been looking for the 2008 version (my 05/2008 has some very clear differences from the late 2007 manuals I have).

I don't think any are available yet. Which puzzles me as the dealerships certainly have this info. I'm surprised that it hasn't been pirated yet.

These are now available at:

Obviously the NA versions, but I'll make do with that here in the UK for now!

There is an abbreviation error in the above URL. It should be:

BMW University (PKoD)

Not that it is terribly helpful--assertions from the fellow above aside, the links for the 2009 3-series do not seem to work.

If anyone is able to successfully get this document, toss it up on hosting somewhere and post a link, please.

Yes, the links are not working now, but were when I posted above! Not sure what BMW are doing with the site!

The manual is now in your vehicle information on the Account side of BMWUSA, it was too big to upload.

Hmph. The only manual I see available for download is the iDrive one. I guess I'll wait for the hard copy that comes with the car.

Although the note on the owners site says it is for I Drive, the manual is for the 3 series and includes all of the I Drive features (Settings, Nav, Entertainment, Telephone and Communications)

If you are getting I Drive, this manual will give you a head start on all the features of the new system. There is plenty to consider and set up.

I guess I didn't make myself clear. I ordered an e90 without iDrive so I was looking for the non-iDrive owner's manual. The iDrive manual is pretty worthless to me as all the set-up controls are different between the two.

all iDrive versions unfortunately.........

Is there a place where I could download the 2009 Touring manual ? Preferably without iDrive ?

Thanks.
