Hi from South Wales
Update your user details with location and car model so it appears on all your posts
Assist is answering your questions since we are Worldwide and saves you typing them in every post
As to a Service Manual take a look on ebay here for Z3 https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=bmw+z3+service+manual&_sacat=0
Here for Z4 https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=bmw+z4+service+manual&_sacat=0

The online access to BMW TIS Technical Information System which was free access changed to pay to view a couple of years ago, a really crap move by BMW, so much for the right to repair.
For parts info take a look at Realoem site that you can enter last seven of your Vin number and see what your car left the factory like, good diagrams and lists part numbers. https://www.realoem.com/bmw/en/select

What does zeds mean?

It's the way we Brits talk about what you call Zee's

 

[KASPar]

What does zeds mean?

Zeds means Zs either 1, 3,4 or 8 or as you say Zee in your version of our language that you use over the pond

Colby, im looking for "owners handbook" that comes in most new cars glovebox. Guess BMW doesn't have one.......the 48 page "supplemental manual" is closest I've come to it.

 

[t-tony]

Yes they do and they did. Its just simply some people keep them. That's what happened to me.

Tony.

Tony: No place to download one?
Should I be able to get one from BMW?

 

[medusa]

Dang, "should be downloadable"

 

[t-tony]

I bought one from the local BMW dealer, as I said further up this thread. Not cheap though.

Tony.

 

[medusa]

Tony, may I ask what it cost? And what year yours was for?

 

[t-tony]

My car is a 2011 E89 Z4. The handbook cost around £60.00, so not cheap I don.t know whether you can still buy earlier books.

Tony.

You can download the manual for the E89 ( I have it on my PC), so no reason why there shouldn't be one for the E85 somewhere.

Google is your friend here!

 

[medusa]

Pond, I'm looking for the handbook, I've already downloaded the manual.

 

[Duncodin]

Manual, handbook. Are these the books that you get with a new car?

 

[Pond]

Pond, I'm looking for the handbook, I've already downloaded the manual.

I think there may a communication problem here somewhere.

Are you looking for the 'owner's manual', ie the book that came with the car that tells you where all the controls are and not to drink the contents of the battery, or a 'service manual', ie a technical manual that tells you how to fix stuff (and to not drink the contents of the battery)?

If you are looking for an 'owner's manual' in paper form then:

BMW Z4 E85 OWNERS MANUAL HANDBOOK & WALLET (2002 - 2008) FAST POST | eBay

OWNERS MANUAL HANDBOOK. BMW WALLET. WITH WALLET. RADIO CD MANUAL.

www.ebay.co.uk

Probably someone selling it on eBay US aswell!

If you are looking to download an 'owner's manual' in digital format then:

BMW Z4 User Manual Download | BMW Sections

Took all of about 30 seconds to find the above two!

 

[medusa]

I've found the manual. My thinking is there is a users handbook (glovebox) that is about 1/2 the size, thickness of the manual..I found one for the 2006 Z4 M that's 48 pages....a shortened version of the entire 120 page manual. It's 6-1/2" by 8-1/2 inches. My thinking of a 'handbook for the Z4 M then we why not for the. Z4 2.5i?

 

[t-tony]

So you have sourced the "Workshop" manual and you still need the "Owner's/Drivers/|Operators handbook then?

Tony.
