You need a microfiche viewer to read them making it a pain to move from page to page. The Orange parts books have it all.
Chris I realize that. I figured if the guy will sell them for $15 -$20 it, might look good on someone's shelf. I know for my E24, any factory factory literature regarding it, I buy. I even found a BMW booklet that gives all of their recommended torque values. I never looked to see for what years, but it looks good on the shelf...besides it was only $5 so I couldn't say no
I have almost every Micro fiche page for the 70's and 80's.
After taking a picture of every page I was able to have it all converted to digital format.
Then I donated the special German version Microfiche reader to the University Of California Berkeley library system. Do you really want a huge machine out in the garage?
Have you seen what they look like? Scratches are tough on these.

It's all on the internet now.

I thought maybe a boat anchor??
It’s neat to have the microfiche for you collection (I have some too), but they are useless since realoem.com came out.
My ex-wife kept the house so I left the microfiche viewer for her as a gift.

Bert, do you mean the machine or the film microfiches? What is the year of publication?
Realoem nor any of the online catalogs come close to providing all the information that's found in the orange books.
