2009 M3 6MT Owner's Manual - need one

[CaptainKirk2008]

I've been looking at Ebay and elsewhere and I would like to not get ripped off. I'm seeing any number of manuals and they all look different. Where is a reputable place to buy a "real" BMW owners manual?

I'm a bit stymied on why this car I just bought doesn't have one. I never thought to ask when I bought it as I never imagined someone would take it and sell it outright.

Thanks for suggestions guys.

Is it a E93? Because the manual is in the boot (trunk)

It is an E93 Coupe and I've torn the trunk apart. The seller was vague and indicated that he didn't "think" he ever had one so it made me think I was not finding one because it isn't there. He seemed to be a good person so maybe he never needed it and didn't realize it wasn't there.

Just talked to the dealer and he is telling me to go to BMWUSA.com, go to the owner's lounge and I will find it there in pdf for free or I can order it for $75.

Think I may just do that. I was amazed that I am seeing a $75 case with books for $155 when the dealer is so much cheaper.

I think I have my answer.

This might help. Online versions of the manuals by year.

Thanks. But, something might have changed with the site. I tried to open the download specific to my car and one other just to see if the first was a problem - it appears the downloads are now empty folders. Brought my IT guy on the horn, so I'm thinking it's not just that I am challenged. I'll try again later.

PM me if you are interested. I have a set of booklets, including case for sale if you want. 2008 E90 M3 version though, but essentially the same as the E92, with the exception of a different pic no the front.
