D-Jet - Has anyone ever laid eyes on one of these?

[tferrer]

If so please ping me. I'd love to buy, rent, or copy it. All I have is this pic from an old post years ago.

This is a BMW specific D-jet manual that allegedly goes way beyond the meager findings in the blue book.

Update: A 2015 post by @windnsea mentioned 2 copies in his collection. I pinged you @windnsea!

Jetronic.org is also a great source for d-jet info not in the usual manuals.

Minimal bmw info unfortunately...

FYI:

Attention! The Bosch customer service guide has an extreme error here!!! Don't :RTFM: Picture 30, p. 21 of VDT-W-280/512, 2. Output <the latest output ever> is marked instead of the idle adjustment screw, the throttle stop screw. The idle adjustment screw is absolutely not visible in this picture, the entire image is incorrect! She can be seen (unfortunately badly) in pictures 14 and 17, in picture 15 (p.16) she is marked. However, this describes how to adjust the throttle stop. Ergo: Picture 15 is also wrong!

As I pointed out to Markos, unlike all the other manufacturers that created numerous detailed Tech manuals on D-jet, (such bastions of automotive ingenuity like Volvo, Renault and Citroën), BMW looks to have created one single manual on their D-jet, that they cocked up!

In all fairness, I’m not sure now involved
BMW was in the documentation. The red book certainly screams 70’s BMW. However, there are several different versions of red book #28, VDT-W-280. I think 512 is the BMW, and 512/B likely corresponds to the second edition.

So BMW didn't even manage that. It was a Bosch item. This seems to be a culture at BMW. No real concern/support for historic vehicles unlike the other large German manufacturers.
