The OEM version. It carries the procedures, specifications, torque values and wiring diagrams BMW published for the 325Ci, organized by system — not a condensed aftermarket summary.

11 recalls are on federal record across the 2001–2006 325Ci, listed by year below. The manual carries the manufacturer's diagnostic and repair procedures behind the systems involved; the recall repairs themselves are performed free by BMW dealers.

Why do some 325Ci years cost more?

Every 325Ci year is $40.99.
