For the 535i owner who asked about sundry things:

	Headrests break, and often.  Live with it, or without it.

	Try Bentley's Manual for the E28 5-series '82-'88, about $45.
Best one out there.  Only one out there, almost. :)

	Stay away from Duralube and Slick 50, the advertisers are the
slickest substance known to man.  Changing your oil religiously after
3,000 miles will provide all the protection you can want, and using 
BMW filters: Purolator Micronic (not the ones made in India, it seems),
Mann, Mahle.  Almost any good SF/SG rated oil will work.  Synthetics
are even better, esp. in colder climates.  The additive package in 
most major oil brands is engineered to provide protection for your
engine.  This package breaks down over time --- it gets used up.
Replace it.

'75 2002, which goes through 4 quarts of oil in 3000 miles anyway...
'77 320i
'78 323i 
'82 320i
