I have the Bentley CD manual for the B5 A4/S4.  It's ok.  The nice thing
about it is the searchability via keywords, but it's cumbersome to
just browse.  I heard that the CD version actually contains more info
than the printed book version, particularly for the newer cars with
onboard diagnostics.

Be careful about buying Bentley CD manuals from unknown entities, though.
It must be activated with a serial number and activation code (which
you get via the registration process) in order to work.  If you get a
bootleg copy then it's no good.
