apparently, there would be someone in la rochelle (france), he has it (in french for sure, maybe in english).
he s selling copies of the original book (280 pages around)
the more he has customers, the faster he goes to make the copies :

Vince,
Last I checked Capital Cycle in the USA had the original repair manual for sale and I bought one. $70usd. Just as handy is the part catalogue that motobins had for sale. I have both and use them all the time. The bindings fall apart. They are paperback size. Bill

I have Clymer and Haynes manuals. They are both OK, but I think the original BMW would be much clearer about most repairs.
Thanks Bill, I will check out Capital Cycle and let you Know...

Hi, I am not electronically savvy enough to figure out how to host the workshop manual, other than scanning it page by page and posting the photos somewhere...
But maybe someone like Grant could help us out.
