The OEM version. It carries the procedures, specifications, torque values and wiring diagrams BMW published for the 340i, organized by system — not a condensed aftermarket summary.

1 recalls are on federal record across the 2016–2018 340i, 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.
