524td Repair Manuals & Reference Material

[Frybrid 524td]

Below are links to all the 524td related documents I have been able to collect since purchasing my E28. While some of this material is available elsewhere online, it can prove challenging to track it all down. Additionally, some of these manuals were not previously available electronically. I apologize if some of my scans are not pristine; the manuals I scanned are not in the best of shape.

The Bentley manual* doesn't cover the M21 engine and sifting through the archives on either MyE28 or the Yahoo 524td Group can be frustrating to say the least. Ideally, this sticky will serve as a central repository for all 524td specific repair material. I hope these resources prove to be as invaluable to you as they have been to me.

*The Bentley manual is great for any repairs that are not unique to the 524td/M21. Even though it does not cover the M21, this manual should be part of your library for all of the generic E28 upkeep you will inevitably need to do.
