2018 M3 Owner's Manual in PDF?
I have a PDF of my Owner's Manual for my 2016 M4. I've been unable to find a PDF of the Owner's Manual for the 2018 M3. Searching this forum is impossible because I can't specify "Owner's" + "Manual" and I get a ton of hits for just "manual".
It seems like BMW no longer provides the PDF of Owner's Manuals and instead searching for this lands you on a page where you can view an "electronic" manual. Great, but not the same as a PDF, which is a Portable Document Format. Anyone have a PDF of the 2018 M3 Owner's Manual (US)?

I just revisited the BMW Driver's Guide app. It looks like the PDF of the Owner's Manual is embedded into this app, although it can only be accessed through the app, not with Adobe Reader. Seems to be the best alternative.

I've seen a few changes, with one of the most notable one being changes in recommended tire inflation pressures.

MOST of it is similar, but not identical. You'd be amazed at the differences. Comparing the printed Owner's Manuals, 284 pages for the '18 M3 but only 232 pages for the '16 M4. That's a lot of additional info! The oil specs are different! If you have two PDFs, you can compare them with the Compare Files feature and get a report on the differences. If you have two PDFs. But the point is, why can't I get the 2018 M3 manual as a PDF?

But I hear you, the owners manual for any year and any model should be available for download right from the bmw site. |

For speeds under 100 mph: M4 User's Manual (19s), p. 181: 31F/31R, although my door jamb says 32F/32R. M3 User's Manual (19s/20s), p. 223-225, 32F/32R, door jamb says 32F/32R.
