E90 Owner's Manual??

urbo73 · 10-19-2008, 08:28 AM

I know I can download the PDF, but shouldn't my car come with the printed Owner's Manual with iDrive for SEDAN? The dealer gave me the Owner's Manual with iDrive for Coupe/Convertible, and claims that's the one shipped with sedans as well. I imagine he's full of BS (and this is not important by any means) but I'd like to know from E90/Sedan users what they have.

He's full of it, no surprise. Print off the first few pages of the pdf and bring it in to demand a copy. Make sure all of your other materials were included in the two cases new owners get. Did you buy new?

Yes, new. He claims the PDF exists, but not the hardcopy, which I told him made no sense. What else I wonder may be missing.

Can you please tell me what should be in the 2 cases?

Just out of principle when you let me know, I'll email him demanding everything. He said what's the big deal - I can look at the PDF...

In one of mine was the sedan manual and a at a glance folding guide. The other one had a maintenance/warranty book, a safety book, the bag with the flashlight and a few other small books which I cant rmemeber what was in them.

Sounds right - I just got the coupe/convertible one (in the folding guide) and the guy saying - "Who cares? iDrive is iDrive and the PDF is online." If they milk every penny out of me, then I want what comes with the car. Dealers..Plus, just don't care for that attitude. Just say you'll order the damn book or admit you're wrong..

See attached pics. Your salesman is a lazy dipshit, hope they order the right one for you and put the E93 manual back with the car it should be in.
