I just picked up a 2000 540 and have been replacing tons of stuff.  I need to get one of these some day, I cant believe how much money the Bentley is.

The good thing is that the car is pretty easy to work on.

Already put in:

Struts and springs

fluid change (oil, tranyy, diff)

Brakes

cabin filters

air filter

Front windshiled gasket

the rest of the week:

Power Steering pump and lines

water pump

I was surprised to see that most of Vol 2 is wiring diagrams.

Mike, now that you have that manual, can you give me some help.  2000 540 working on replacing the waterpump and I cant figure out how to get it out of the front of the engine.  I either have to remove some pipe that goes across the engine or remove the engine pulley.  Any or maybe there is some other trick. 

Any help is appreciated.

Hello everyone, My name's Mike and I have a Bentley Manual addiction.

(Everyone replies) "Hi Mike"

I don't even own a E46, but I bought a used Bentley Manual for it from Jim Stieve, my dealer.
(Starting to weep) I can't help it! It was a good price and you never know, I might get one, one day...
I know, I hate myself....

(others comfort me) "It's Ok. We've been there....And we can help...
