2006 BMW 130i Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2006 BMW 130i covers a hatchback offered in two body lengths — four-door and two-door — with one engine underneath: a 3.0L inline-six, double overhead cams, naturally aspirated, gasoline. No turbocharger means no charge-air plumbing to trace, and the fuel, ignition and cooling material is correspondingly direct. A single trim is listed, so the specifications and torque values printed for the six apply to every car the book covers.

Known issues on the 2006 130i. The manual's job on this car is the ordinary maintenance and repair of a naturally aspirated six. Engine mechanical work has its clearances and torque sequences; the fuel, ignition, cooling and exhaust systems have their specifications and test values; the transmission and driveline follow. Chassis coverage runs through brakes, suspension and steering, with the adjustment figures each needs, and the electrical sections give wiring diagrams for the lighting, climate and restraint circuits of both the two-door and four-door shells, plus the diagnostic routines that go with them.
