Can anyone recommend a great 500e Manual

[bmsone7]

Hello Again,

I have been doing some extensive reading over the weekend on 500espot and 500ecstacy. I think I want to start tackling some suspension projects and need a good manual.

Starting with:
1. Replace all rubber in suspension
2. H&R Springs maybe.
3. Koni Yellow struts in front and maybe lower SLS a bit.

I am pretty good mechanically if I read ahead and take my time. So I am in need of a comprehensive manual. The issues is don't want to work past anything and end up going back to change I part I could have done when it was apart the first time.

Any suggestions would be great appreciated!

Thx

The factory manual is the one you want to use. It's not exactly user friendly, but it does have the information you need. Here's a link to it posted online:

Thanks. I saw this one but thought there may be another one out there. I will use this one.

There is a Haynes manual too, but it's a Euro (UK) manual, and does not cover the V8 models. However, some of the information still applies to the 500E, such as the interior & climate control items, and basic suspension / brake work. I'd use it as a seconday reference though. Here's a link:
