Moss might still carry it new ( www.mossmotors.com
<http://www.mossmotors.com/> ), as it's still listed under Factory
Manual reprints for $40. I picked mine up at amazon a couple of years
ago, and they don't seem to have it anymore either. I have both the
Haynes and Bentley, and use both. Haynes can be good sometimes when the
factory manual says "use special tool xxxx", as it'll give you a
shadetree mechanic option. ;)
We also have a 318is, but E30 (1991). My biggest complaint with the
Bentley there is I'd really need 2: the E30 for the body, and the E36
for the M42 engine! ;)
Welcome!

Isn't it a little hard to get the greasy fingerprints off of the

Yes, the Bentley is available for the 1500, but apparently not new from
what
I am seeing in barnes and Noble. Strangely enough, the Bentley for the
1961-1974 Midget is available new again, although it costs $57. They
show up
regularly on ebay and at car shows.
