Recently purchased a 1997 318tds,
4 door.

No owner / operator manual however.

does anyone have a pdf version?

Am mostly interested in dash board,
buttons and what they do and what
the lights and all mean.

Much is common sense
but I figure why not ask to be sure.

Thanks in advance,
Robert in Gozo

Thank you for your kind offer.

It seems the dash board buttons and the idiot lights are what I am mostly interested in.

My model is a basic model, electric front doors, 5 speed, trunk is manual open, gas tank is manual open, (well I have not found a button to open the trunk or gas tank from the inside the cabin) manual seats adjustment, and I have played with all the dash board buttons to get to know what they do, So I think I have gotten that part right,

but the idiot lights are still confusing.

Also how to reset the part/ idiot light, under the mileage, that warns of maintenance being due. Supposedly there in no maintenance due but the light is now at one green bar. Repair shop says car maintenance is up to date.

The bar is green to red, and in my opinion, my local repair guys are not very up to date.

It is not a BMW dealership but they do maintain BMW's to a small degree.

And am curious how to put the temperature A/C gauge in F rather than C.

Would appreciate any assistance.

Cordially,
Robert Lafayette in Gozo Malta.
