2009 BMW 535i xDrive Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2009 BMW 535i xDrive covers two bodies on one drivetrain: a four-door sedan and a four-door wagon, both in Base trim, both with the turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, twin-cam, on gasoline. Forward of the rear seat the cars are the same, so engine, driveline and chassis material serves both, and the wagon's separate treatment begins at the rear structure, its glass and its tailgate hardware.
