Question about online repair manual vs. blue books

[Stevehose]

Does the online repair manual have all the same info as the printed blue books I have seen for sale or just selected info?

Stevehose... How much for the grilles

What will you take for the grilles?

It's missing the tune-up section.

Which one? There's several E9 manuals I have found online. The blue books are the most comprehensive, but I have also found very useful information (part rebuilds, etc) in several other manuals.

The 2 volume blue books. So only the tuneup section is not included?

Sorry, I meant which online manual. Are you talking about the CD from BMW, or the Autobooks manual that was hosted on Devinder's site a while back?

The CD from BMW is, as I understand it, mostly a set of scanned pages from the blue books, with some information missing. It is also apparently quite touchy with regards to system specifications, but they may have fixed that.

I guess it's the BMW CD version?
