1984 BMW 533i Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 1984 BMW 533i documents a single-trim sedan with a 3.2L inline-six, one camshaft in the head, no forced induction, gasoline fed. Everything in it applies to that one specification, which is what makes the numbers usable: valve clearances, timing figures, torque sequences and cooling system pressures are given as values for this engine rather than as a family average. The chassis, brake and electrical sections follow the same principle for the rest of the car.
