Lookee what I found (Hint, they're big and BLUE and filled with paper)

So digging through the local shop, and I found these...





That's right, factory service manuals!

I brought them out to Pete, the shop owner, and he goes "You're friends with lots of BMW owners, they're yours."
"But I don't know anyone with one of THESE, Pete..."
"I'm wanting to retire and this shop is a big overstuffed mess in every spot, right?"
"Yeah so?"
"YOU TOUCHED THEM THEY'RE YOURS!"

At which point he grabbed them and put them in my car.

So I go "Peter they're just going to go up on eBay!"
"Good, then you can use the money to pay your bill"

So, I guess they're mine...
hahaha

How rare is this? I really have no idea. Do the owners of these cars even use this stuff anymore? Or do they just grab a Bentley manual or something?

To eBay they go this Sunday...

Hey Bret,

What exactly do you have there? I see for a 630, a 2800 and what else?

Anything for a 2002, or E21?

2500-3.0CSi, 630 CSi. No E21 or 2002, sorry.

The 630CSi is one binder, the 2500-3.0CSi is a pair of two binders, with seperate info.

RE: Before eBay. Well, make me a decent offer I guess? I just need capital, at the moment. Not beer, sorry.

I'm heading to Seattle tomorrow evening, for the weekend. Give me a call, I suppose, before 7:00? We can talk...
Otherwise, I have it set up to automatically start the auction Sunday evening, approx. 7:00 PM, and run for a week.
