Does anyone have a pdf or pics of the accessories brochure?

I've got a German market catalog, that seems to have a combination of factory options and accessories shown. Here is the PDF I made:

The scans were originally found on the Internet somewhere and I can't take credit for them, but now they are in an easier to read format.

It's been on my to-do list for quite a while, but I've got a mint accessories catalog that I'll be scanning. My only question is, how can I assemble all the pages into a single PDF without Acrobat Professional?

That is great work!

I have that catalog (I think they were given away at O'Fest '88) but I had forgotten that it's that big!

My scanner software has the option to scan multiple images before output, making a single document of however many images are needed.

Well I started this morning and decided I'd take the time to restore the images to their former glory (noise reduction/contrast) and so far it looks awesome

I should have something by tomorrow

Fantastic. My father collected all of these brochures during the '80s while I was learning to read. There's a big box somewhere. I haven't seen these in years.

Wow, I really thought I'd seen every accessory but there were some surprises I never knew about.

BTW, I have the e30 version. If anyone's interested I'll scan it.

I love the backseat "batphone"

That must have really been a trendsetter considering only Banking VP's and CEO's had "car phones" in the mid '80's.

Those stripes are awesome. I am really loving the variety of comfort seats. Man, you don't see those patterns very often. I wish I had that rear air conditioning system!

try power point or Indesign,
orelse acrobat is best for what you'r doing.

I have uploaded the pics to my website.

They're about half the size I scanned them in at, but still decent enough. Good luck! Let me know when you have a PDF I'd love to have a copy.

Glad I'm able to make a contribution!

Why wasn't this thread made sooner? I think I speak for most everybody when I say the efforts put forth to put the accessory catalogs online are extremely appreciated! Thanks guys!

Of course the US version isn't NEARLY as cool as the German version...

Obviously, those that want the highest quality should grab the JPGs if they wish to print them out. I didn't think we needed 10mb for a few pages so the images in the PDF were compressed.

Oh come on. I was just uploading the one I made.

I guess it will save me a download now.
