Awesome!! Reading these manuals is helping me deal with the wait!! At least I'll be pretty knowledgeable by the time my 1 arrives!

Very cool. Does anyone have the audio/phone manual online?

nszzya · 03-23-2009, 01:57 PM

Does anyone have a link to the 2009 1 Series Manual for iDrive equipped vehicles? Couldn't find in search.

Thanks

nszzya · 03-23-2009, 05:22 PM

I have an '09, registered my car on bmwusa.com and downloaded the manual, but the non-idrive manual was downloaded. Can't find the iDrive '09 manual on the site. I'll contact them and try to get it resolved.

Please post if/when you find it. I haven't been able to find it either.

Thanks! Very interesting.

m7ammed · 04-09-2009, 02:53 AM

No manual for '09 with iDrive?

nszzya · 04-09-2009, 11:24 AM

There is an iDrive manual for the 2009 335i on bmwusa.com. Not as convenient, but the info is there.

ianc · 03-03-2010, 04:20 PM

Maybe OT, maybe not, but has anybody found any type of SERVICE manual for the car? Some type of BMW internal doc, or something along the lines of a Haynes or Bentley for the car? Would really be interested in dl'ing or purchasing something like this...

I would, too. The only thing I've seen is a DVD-ROM for sale on eBay that is apparently for the previous-generation (up to 2007) 1-series hatchback that was never sold in the USA.

I doubt it would be all that helpful for US-spec 1ers...then again, it does say it includes the "135is".

ianc · 03-03-2010, 05:17 PM

Hmm... It's only $10. Buy it and let me know if it's worth it.

Does anyone know if there is a manual for the 2012 135i WITHOUT iDrive?

Thanks in advance

I believe all Manuel comes with the iDrive. From a 2012 128 owner.

yeah I am sure a lot of the 2008 manual is the same, but I was hoping to see a 2012 one without idrive just in case. Didnt go for idrive because I heard from numerous people that it just wasnt mature and intuitive enough yet...wasnt worth the extra 2k to me.

szcyxzh · 09-29-2011, 10:11 AM

a $300 tomtom is much better a choice in my opinion.

Nice...!

Many thanks for the pdf docs.

Bluemiles · 10-16-2012, 06:57 AM

Bit late, but just got mine.

eCobbE88 · 09-03-2013, 04:01 PM

The Owner's manual refers to a "Caring for your vehicle
brochure". Anyone have a copy to download or a source to refer me to?

Thanks!

Thanks! My car didn't come with one so this was helpful. I'm one of those people that like to read manuals front to back
