Is he? M3 Supplement books go for £30 alone on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=003&item=130023685222&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=003&a mp;item=130023685222&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AI T&rd=1 ------------- |

But why would you want another cars service book?? Your either going to frame it and keep it or con someone when you sell you car that had no history. ------------- Z3M Roadster (gone....just...but not forgotten...yet) E30 M3 (Toy) Alfa 147 (just gone) BMW 330d (new work horse) Daimler Double 6 (no idea yet) |

I bought an owners manual and service history off ebay (it was a 318i though) for the manual/folder/map, ive still got the service book but i aint fooling anyone with it saying 318i on the front. Selling the service history book is a bit of a cheek but the rest someone might genuinly want. Either way it will have the chassis number in the service book so unless your a mong it wouldnt be an issue falling for it. ------------- |

I could disagree on that one..... say you had a car with no history but a service book... you could open the staples and swap the service pages with your book thus retaining you vin etc but gaining a service history. sly, untrustworthy, et but would fool alot of ppl dont you think and could add more than 100 quid to some shedded m3.........
just a thought.

based on some of the daft prices people pay on ebay on basis that its got to be a bargin then why not try for the £100?? just look at CSL alloys and some E30 M3parts always going for more than at local dealers!! ------------- m3/cslregister |

| I particularly like the fact that "genuine" and "reprint" appear almost adjacent to one another in the same sentence! |

At least it is just an owner`s manual. Useful if after a decade of M3 ownership you suddenly wish to know how to change a bulb, or unlock the boot or something! A secondhand service history from an unknown car can only serve one purpose. I have two of these, and plug spanners, and footrests, and whole spare cars. (which I do not consider to be particularly valuable) How many laps of the `ring do I get for that lot?!? ------------- MALLORCAMAN Putting the ///M in Mallorca |

He's 100% correct though, if you go into BMW and order a manual, this is what you get, a genuine BMW re-print. BMW have been doing re-prints for years now. What's not right though is the price hike from £3 that BMW would charge you for it!! -------------
